Philippine Air Force Tech. Sgt. Randy Avenico, C-130 flight engineer, observes preparatory operations for a low-cost, low-altitude airdrop during the current iteration of a rotational Air Contingent at Brigadier General Benito N Ebuen Air Base, Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines, Oct. 5, 2016. For the exchange, U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft from Yokota Air Base's 374th Airlift Wing flew with members of the Philippine Air Force's 220th Airlift Wing, from Brig. Gen. Benito N. Ebuen Air Base, Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines, and discussed the intricacies of LCLA bundle drops. Two Yokota-based C-130s and crews, members of the 36th Contingency Response Group, Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, and other units from across U.S. Pacific Command conducted bilateral training missions and subject matter expert exchanges alongside their Philippine Air Force counterparts. The Air Contingent is helping build the capacity of the Philippine Air Force and increases joint training, promotes interoperability and provides greater and more transparent air and maritime situational awareness to ensure safety for military and civilian activities in international waters and airspace. Its missions include air and maritime domain awareness, personnel recovery, combating piracy, and assuring access to the air and maritime domains in accordance with international law.
