Over 11,000 American soldiers and 5,000 Filipino troops will be jointly training in Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Palawan, and Zambales in the 39th iteration of the yearly military exercise. Both Philippine and American officials kick off the weeks-long event during a program in Camp Aguinaldo on April 22.
