 I am First Lieutenant Weber. I'm a 70-210 air defense control officer and we provide control and aircraft of missiles to the MAG TAF. Today we focus on setting up our comm system, the inside of our OPVAC and the warfighter consoles we'll be working on and ensuring our radar is functionable. Our Marines in our unit are expected to go anywhere in the Pacific and provide control of aircraft and missiles so the more we can get to places like the Philippines, the better it is for the future in terms of preparedness. A lot of what we do in the air defense community requires a lot of cooperation, coordination and planning. By training with Allied partner nations we're showing that we can sort of transcend any cultural or linguistic or operational deficiencies we share and that we're preparing each other to work together in the long term future. Balakutan is a great experience for us because the Filipinos are a great ally for us so by being here we're showing them that we're looking to keep that relationship for a long time. Balakutan is a great experience for us to work with our Filipino counterparts and to show them not only that we can work together but that we plan to do it in the long term future.
