 Every year the U.S. military and the armed forces of the Philippines work together during an amphibious landing exercise, or FIBLEX. For the past week, Marines from Okinawa have worked to establish communications needed to conduct the exercise. They set up all the communications nodes, telephones, computers, radios, any way for these, for the staff and the commanding general to be able to talk anywhere within the Philippines. Essentially, anywhere globally, they set up all of those communications nodes. I mean, without communications, essentially, there is no command and control for the exercise. Without them, essentially, I mean, you're just camping without communications. The communication Marines will continue to provide support during the entire exercise.
