The “Salaknib” drills between Filipino and American military troops will take place from March 5 to 24 this year.

Troops from the Philippine Army’s (PA) 1st Brigade Combat Team, Training and Doctrine Command, Army Support Command, 51st Engineer Brigade, Civil-Military Operations Regiment, Army Artillery Regiment, Aviation Regiment, Armor Division, Light Reaction Regiment, Special Forces Regiment, and First Scout Ranger Regiment, as well as their US Army Pacific Command counterparts, are among the participants (USARPAC).

“Salaknib, which means shield in Ilocano, is a symbol of our long-standing relationship with the United States Army. It has been ongoing since 2015 and is based on the Philippine-US Mutual Defense Treaty “Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., the PA commander, said in a statement on Sunday.

“Salaknib” is a USARPAC-sponsored annual exercise held by the PA. It intends to improve both Filipino and American troops’ defense readiness by strengthening tactical interoperability while also demonstrating the US government’s commitment to fulfilling its alliance duties in the region.

The PA and USARPAC teams concluded a three-day examination of the suggested training locations in Central Luzon on January 21 to ensure that they were available, suitable, and training-worthy.

Brawner praised the “Salaknib” planning team for conducting a rigorous preparation approach to ensure the bilateral exercise’s success despite the pandemic.

“Conducting combined training exercises between the Philippine and US troops will enable us to properly deal with the Indo-Pacific region’s rapidly shifting security situation,” Brawner said. (
