Allied Spirit is a U.S. Army exercise for multinational partners, conducted at 7th Army Training Command training areas at Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels, Germany.
 
Unlike other USAREUR-AF exercises, which feature U.S. brigade combat teams in a lead role augmented by Allies and partners, Allied Spirit places an Allied unit as the main training audience. While U.S.-led, this exercise will develop and enhance NATO and key partner interoperability and readiness across specified warfighting functions.

Exercise Balikatan
April 7, 2023 | 2:02
The 17th Special Operations Squadron, from Cannon Air Force Base, is providing two AC-130J Ghostrider Gunships in support of Balikatan 23. The AC-130J is a highly modified C-130J aircraft with a Precision Strike Package, which includes precision-guided munitions delivery capability as well as 30mm and 105mm weapons. The gunship's long loiter time and deep magazine make it a viable fires platform in the region and a strong asset in maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific. Balikatan is an annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. Military designed to strengthen bilateral interoperability, capabilities, trust, and cooperation built over decades of shared experiences.
