U.S. Marines and members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines are currently conducting the 34th iteration of Exercise Balikatan. Balikatan 18 is an annual exercise that gives the U.S. and Philippines the opportunity to share tactics, techniques, and procedures while focusing on a variety of potential missions, including humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, counterterrorism, and other combined military operations.
