U.S., Philippine Conduct Joint Maritime Exercises
(MENAFN) Philippine and US military forces executed joint maritime operations in the West Philippine Sea, according to an official announcement released Tuesday.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines and the US Indo-Pacific Command carried out their 10th Bilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity on Monday within the West Philippine Sea waters, the statement confirmed, published on US social media platform Facebook.
The West Philippine Sea represents the Philippines' official terminology for sections of the South China Sea falling within its exclusive economic zone.
Philippine forces deployed the frigate BRP Miguel Malvar (FFG-06), three A-29B Super Tucano aircraft, three FA-50 fighter jets, and a Sokol search-and-rescue helicopter for the drills. The US Indo-Pacific Command contributed the guided-missile cruiser USS Robert Smalls (CG-62), an MH-60R Seahawk helicopter, and a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft.
The exercise encompassed communication checks, maritime domain awareness reporting, raid exercises, division tactics, officer-of-the-watch maneuvers, and low-pass fly-bys.
The two nations previously conducted their ninth round of maritime drills on Dec. 9–10.
