Sharpening the fundamentals of maneuver. During Exercise Salaknib, U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Mobile Brigade, conducted realistic platoon-level training alongside regional partners in the Philippines.

These rehearsals are more than just tactical movements. They validate the ability of combined forces to communicate, synchronize fires, and execute under pressure in complex environments. Every repetition strengthens the COMMAND & CONTROL networks and battlefield integration required to successfully coordinate and STRIKE as a unified team.

This is readiness made real. Working side-by-side with our Philippine Army partners builds the mutual trust and shared capability that remain the bedrock of our commitment to regional security.

Friction makes the force sharper. U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Mobile Brigade, engaged opposing forces during tough, realistic scenarios at JPMRC-X.

Operating in complex archipelagic environments demands constant vigilance. Before a unit can engage, they must rapidly SEE and SENSE the battlefield, identifying threats and maneuver corridors. By testing these skills against a live opposition force, our Tropic Lightning Soldiers prove they can quickly adapt, maneuver, and STRIKE with absolute precision.

Training under these intense conditions alongside our Philippine Army partners builds true tactical proficiency. This is readiness made real, proving our combined capabilities are an asymmetric advantage for regional stability.

Learning the jungle from the experts. During Salaknib 2026, U.S., Philippine, and partner nation forces integrated into a Joint Jungle Tracking Course to sharpen their environmental awareness and strengthen multinational interoperability.

Led by highly skilled instructors from the New Zealand Army, the course challenged U.S. Army Tropic Lightning Soldiers to master the fundamentals of reconnaissance and human tracking. A force must be able to SEE and SENSE its environment before it can act. By exchanging hard-earned expertise, our combined forces build a common understanding of the terrain, enabling faster decisions and shared intelligence across the coalition.

This is cooperation put into action. Training together in complex archipelagic terrain ensures our allied formations remain an asymmetric advantage dedicated to regional stability.

Multinational integration on a massive scale. During the JPMRC-X rotation in the Philippines, U.S. Army Tropic Lightning Soldiers from the 3rd Mobile Brigade joined forces with the Philippine Army’s 7th Infantry Division, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, the Australian Army, and the New Zealand Army for a complex, combined air assault.

Operating as a five-nation coalition in the archipelagic environment requires seamless synchronization. By refining our combined COMMAND & CONTROL, this international team proved they can rapidly project power and position forces to STRIKE and secure key terrain as one unified unit.

This is readiness made real. Proving we can execute complex maneuvers together reinforces our mutual commitment to a stable, secure, and prosperous Indo-Pacific.

Projecting power across the archipelago. U.S. Army Tropic Lightning Soldiers launched a final air assault operation during JPMRC-X, validating our rapid force projection alongside the Philippine Army and multinational partners.

Moving troops swiftly across disconnected landmasses is the ultimate test of our ability to SUSTAIN operational momentum. By coordinating these massive lifts, our combined force validates the speed and survivability required to seize and PROTECT key maritime terrain in a complex environment.

This is readiness made real. Every air assault we execute strengthens our coalition's ability to synchronize forces across domains, ensuring we remain a capable, unified team ready to respond to any challenge in the Indo-Pacific.

Moving as one cohesive team. U.S. Army Tropic Lightning Soldiers and Philippine Army personnel successfully cleared an objective during JPMRC-X, validating synchronized small-unit maneuvers in complex terrain.

In the archipelagic environment, effective combat power relies on integration. By working seamlessly to SEE and SENSE the operational environment, our combined squads can rapidly maneuver to STRIKE and secure their objectives. Every deliberate movement in the jungle sharpens our ability to respond decisively during a crisis.

This is readiness made real. Training alongside our Philippine partners strengthens our 75-year Ironclad Alliance, proving that capable combined land forces are the foundation of regional peace and security.
