The joint United States and Philippine militaries will start their annual bilateral exercises called Talon Vision and Amphibious Landing Exercise with a ceremony on Wednesday, October 15, at Clark Air Base in Pampanga, the US embassy in Manila said in a statement.
The two-week training will be held simultaneously in various locations in northern Luzon.
“The bilateral exercises are designed to improve interoperability, increase readiness, and continue professional relationships between the United States and Philippine armed forces,” the embassy said.
Participating troops from both countries will also conduct joint community relations activities in selected local communities.
“These activities include medical and dental missions, school construction, classroom repairs and painting, and community beautification projects,” the embassy said.
US Marines from the Japan-based 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force and US sailors from the Essex Expeditionary Strike Group will participate in both ground-air and naval integration training with the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
