    Philippine sailors assigned to Naval Special Operations Units advance their position while performing an over-the-beach approach exercise in preparation for an upcoming bilateral training scenario with U.S. Naval Special Warfare operators at Joint Task Force Malampaya in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines, during Balikatan 23, April 25, 2023. 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. Naval Special Warfare is the nation’s elite maritime special operations force, uniquely positioned to extend the Fleet’s reach and gain and maintain access for the Joint Force in competition and conflict.
