U.S. Marines with 3rd Landing Support Battalion offload equipment from a U.S. Navy causeway ferry, in preparation for Exercise Balikatan 23 at a beach in the Casiguran Bay, Philippines, April 9, 2023. A combined force of logisticians and support personnel from the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. military planned and executed a combined joint logistics over-the-shore event during Balikatan 23, the annual bilateral exercise between the two Allies. This complex process increases their mutual proficiency in supplying forces ashore in an expeditionary environment. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Stephen Holland)
