Intro:

I'm Corporal Troy Saunders with your Marine Minute.

U.S. Marines, alongside other U.S. and Filipinno armed forces members, recently participated in the 35th iteration of Exercise Balikatan in the Philippines. Balikatan is an exercise that gives the U.S. and the Philippines an opportunity to share tactics, techniques, and procedures while focusing on a variety of potential missions, including humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, counter-terrorism, and other combined military operations.

Also in the Corps,
Marines with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force-Crisis Response-Africa 19.1, along with troops from various NATO and partner nations, recently participated in Exercise Platinum Eagle 19.1 at Babadag Training Area in the country of Romania. Platinum Eagle is an annual, multilateral field-training exercise designed to build relationships between allies and preserve a mutual commitment to security in the European region.
