U.S. Marines and their Philippine counterparts darted out of Black Hawk helicopters during combat drills on Monday in the Philippines’ northernmost island town along the strategic Bashi Channel off southern Taiwan.
The show of allied battle readiness in Itbayat in Batanes province is part of annual military exercises that started last month, dubbed Balikatan, Tagalog for “shoulder-to-shoulder,” and involving more than 16,000 American and Philippine military personnel.
This year's exercises by the longtime treaty allies - the largest yet - are meant to deter possible aggression.
