Jacob Robinson communicates via radio aboard amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8) during a replenishment-at-sea rehearsal with Philippine navy ship BRP Jose Rizal (FF 150) during Balikatan 23, April 15, 2023 in the South China Sea. Balikatan is an annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military designed to strengthen bilateral interoperability, capabilities, trust, and cooperation built over decades of shared experiences. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, comprised of Makin Island and amphibious transport docks USS Anchorage (LPD 23) and USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations with the embarked 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit to enhance interoperability with Allies and partners and serve as a ready-response force to defend peace and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
