 Service members with the Third Marine Expeditionary Brigade, or MEB, participated in a community relations event as part of the amphibious landing exercise. This exercise is a bilateral training evolution designed to strengthen relations between the armed forces of the Philippines and U.S. military forces. It's more of being ambassador, you know, and giving them our time to at least come out here and show them that, you know, hey, we can not only train our counterparts, but the fact that we can also give them our time to them. The service members agree that events like this are good for both the military and local community. It's really a humbling experience, taking care of people, taking care of our allies and being good neighbors. It really grows people to be better leaders, better people.
