KAMANDAG      

"U.S., Philippine and Japanese service members will conduct KAMANDAG 3 from Oct. 9-18, 2019, to promote multinational military interoperability, readiness, and capabilities.

During KAMANDAG 3, U.S. and Philippine forces will conduct amphibious operations, live-fire training, urban operations, aviation operations, and counterterrorism response operations. Japanese forces will train alongside U.S. and Philippine forces in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions.

New for this year’s KAMANDAG, U.S., Philippine, and Japanese forces will conduct assault amphibious vehicle training together. It will also be the first to include U.S. and Philippine low-altitude air defense training and threat reaction training. Together, these activities represent an increase in military capability and a commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific region and demonstrates the ability to forward deploy forces in the event of a crisis or natural disaster.

KAMANDAG 3 is a Philippine-led, bilateral exercise with the U.S. KAMANDAG is an acronym for the Filipino phrase "Kaagapay Ng Mga Mandirigma Ng Dagat," which translates to "Cooperation of Warriors of the Sea," highlighting the partnership between the U.S. and Philippine militaries."
