 I'm First Lieutenant John Butler. I'm the Senior Air Director and also the Operations Officer for Subic Bay, the IFR Detachment. So today we actually conducted one of our Mets McCree. So as I said, my role in the training that we accomplished today is the Operations Officer. So I did a lot of the planning and coordination before we actually came out to the Philippines as well as the Senior Air Director who is essentially the radar supervisor and can work with the controllers and maintainers to ensure we're properly conducting operations here on the airfield. So operating here in the Philippines is very unique. We're operating with some of the host nation controllers. So we have liaison officers in the tower. We also have a bunch of controllers down in Manila who are operating in kind of a joint environment. We have a lot of coordination that needs to happen, especially because it is not U.S. airspace. So there's a lot of coordination and a lot of planning that needs to be done ahead of coming out here. And then once we're actually out in the Philippines, again, it's very hot. It's a very humid environment. So it prepares the Marines for environments like that. So this training and Balikatan 23 is essentially an opportunity for us to work again with host nations and also have the Marines come out, execute their mission essential tasks and be able to conduct their job and their mission occupational specialty. So being able to come out and interact and coordinate with the host nation and also the Philippine armed forces, it really provides us an opportunity to integrate and kind of cross train with them and it makes us better in the long run. So coming out here and executing Balikatan, this is one of the larger exercises that we have throughout our year, our annual training cycle. So Balikatan 23 is one of the largest bilateral exercises. The first Marine aircraft wing conducts throughout the fiscal year. It allows us to interact with the host nation and armed forces of the Philippines and it really allows us to prepare for future operations by integrating with them, coordinating with them and training alongside them. So I'm a part of the air traffic control facility and I bring out a capability that's very unique. So the IFR debt or the detachment is essentially a radar system, a expeditionary radar system that provides air traffic control services in a degraded and austere environment. So we're essentially able to employ using very little logistics and able to provide a radar that that location may not have. So it offers our aircraft in first maw the ability to operate in areas where usually they're not able to.
