U.S. Marine Maj. Gen. Paul Rock, commanding general of 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade; Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Maj. Gen. Shinichi Aoki, commanding general of JGSDF Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade; and Deputy Commandant of the Philippine Marine Corps, Brig. Gen. Ariel Caculitan, give their initial remarks for the opening ceremony of KAMANDAG 3 at Subic Bay, Philippines, Oct. 9, 2019. As treaty allies, U.S.-Philippine and U.S.-Japanese military collaboration has served as a cornerstone for stability in the Indo-Pacific region for decades, and the U.S. has a continuing interest in strengthening our longstanding alliances, reinforcing our maritime security efforts and addressing our shared extremist threat. KAMANDAG 3 is a Philippine-led, bilateral exercise with participation from Japan. KAMANDAG is an acronym for the Filipino phrase “Kaagapay Ng Mga Manirigma Ng Dagat,” which translates to “Cooperation of the Warriors of the Sea,” highlighting the partnership between the U.S. and Philippine militaries.
