    Exercise Balikatan       

    U.S. Army Soldiers, from Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, and U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Ospreys conduct a ship-to-shore air assault from the USS Miguel Keith onto the island of Calayan, Philippines, April 22, 2023, to train for amphibious expeditionary operations in a littoral environment. Balikatan, Tagalog for “shoulder-to-shoulder,” is an annual bilateral exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. military. The exercise provides unique opportunities for participating forces to increase interoperability and provide tangible benefits for the people of the Philippines. Humanitarian civic assistance projects support local communities in the Philippines and strengthen our partnership.
