    Exercise Balikatan       

    U.S. Marines with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 355th Aviation Engineering Wing, and members of the Baler community attend a dedication ceremony for a newly built health clinic during Balikatan 23 in Baler, Aurora, Philippines, April 21, 2023. During Balikatan 23, 9th ESB partnered with 355th Aviation Engineer Wing to provide the surrounding community localized access to medical care through the Engineer Civic Assistance Program. 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. Balikatan 2023 featured four engineering projects as well as cooperative health engagements. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Sebastian Riveraaponte)
