 We look at Balikatan as a window for us to improve in our individual skills of our soldiers, in our organizational capability. And of course, the most important thing, how to make ourselves interoperable with your own forces. It should continue to grow. It should continue to develop because situation is not the same year after year. It changes. So Balikatan should also be flexible. This is the largest which involved more than 12,000 U.S. forces, 5,000 Filipino soldiers and around 111 personnel from the Australian Defense Force. Through the historical years, through blood, sweat and tears, the United States and the Philippine forces have shared some of the most impactful events that have shaped and bonded their relationship. Insummation for Balikatan 23. We start off in the regional areas for humanitarian assistance and medical symposium. Civil engineering through the enhanced offensive cooperation agreement, building in the regions and expanding their capability to increase their economy, their stability and defensive forces throughout the Philippines. Coupled with elements from cyber security, joint live fire, large scale live fire exercises, field training exercises that incorporate all forces in a combined element from amphibious assault to special operations events. The planning between a joint task force and bilateral training with the Filipino forces general headquarters staff, which will culminate into a lateral live fire exercise where the joint force as a whole will demonstrate the capability to be conflict and execute termination of a target out at sea. The scope and scale of Balikatan 23 has not only been a huge success in both nations, actually able to execute in a precise and very mission oriented manner, but also showing success of the Filipino forces in hosting this large annual scale exercise at a much greater scale than it's ever seen before. The culture in the Philippines and the culture in the United States is built upon the foundation of a strong family unit. And by keeping that positive, the family will only grow stronger together.
