U.S. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Thomas D. Weidley, commanding general, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, shares a laugh with 1st Lt. Christopher Smaldone, native of Sussex, New Jersey, assigned to Marine Air Support Squadron 2, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, following the conclusion of the combined arms live fire exercise (CALFEX) at Colonel Ernesto Ravina Air Base (CERAB), Tarlac, Philippines, on May 15, 2018. The CALFEX event showcased the orchestration of air and ground troops to seize an objective during Exercise Balikatan. The exercise was designed to integrate the Filipino military with U.S. forces in a combined arms scenario and expose them to the benefits of integrated fires. Balikatan, in its 34th iteration, is an annual U.S.-Philippine military training focused on a variety of missions, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, counterterrorism, and other combined military operations held from May 7 to May 18.
