A Northwestern University staff member asks a question during a speaking engagement given by Philippine and U.S. service members as a part of Balikatan 23 in Ilocos Norte, Philippines, April 22, 2023. Armed Forces of the Philippines and U.S. military connected with local communities to give a better understanding of the purpose of Balikatan 23. 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. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Sarah Pysher)
