MANILA\u00a0— Highlighting the strong military ties between the Philippines and the United States, soldiers from both nations took part in the 12-day “Salaknib” military exercises which started November 16 and ended on Monday.<\/p>\n

Exercises took place in Camp O’Donnel in Capas, Tarlac; Fort Magsaysay in Palayan City, Nueva Ecija; and Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.<\/p>\n

Philippine Army (PA) spokesperson Lt. Col. Ray Tiongson said “Salaknib” is an Ilocano term for “protector.”<\/p>\n

Drills included artillery tactics and responses, gunnery procedures, maintenance for the M-113 armored personnel carrier, and study and validation for the PA Sustainment Functional Concept Document.<\/p>\n

Tiongson said the exercises and exchange of information between American and Filipino troops will help in the planning of future military drills between the two countries.<\/p>\n
