    U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Antione Brown tosses a helmet to Spc. Kilimanjaro Lewis from the Mississippi Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 204th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, as they conduct preventative maintenance checks on their Avenger Air Defense System which will fire live Stinger missiles later this week as part of Balikatan 23 near San Narciso, Philippines, April 20. Balikatan 23 is the 38th iteration of the annual bilateral exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. military. The exercise includes three weeks of training focused on amphibious operations, command and control, humanitarian assistance, urban operations and counterterrorism skills throughout northern and western Luzon. Coastal defense training figures prominently in the Balikatan 23 training schedule. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Whitney Hughes)
