    Exercise Balikatan       

    Soldiers from “Able,” Alpha Company, 1-27 Infantry Battalion “Wolfhounds” and CH-47 Chinook Helicopters from Task Force Saber (2-6 CAV, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade) conduct a ship-to-shore air assault from the USS Miguel Keith onto the island of Calayan, Philippines on 22 April 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.
