Highlights of the exercise will be the firing of a Spike-ER missile from a Multi-Purpose Attack Craft (MPAC) on a makeshift floating target at sea, the daring amphibious landing of MARU forces to seize control of an island, and the several at-sea events to test the mettle of our Navy’s warships and crew.
“The Philippine Navy through NFWM will showcase the capability of the Fleet-Marine concept in the planning and execution of naval and amphibious operations in the littoral battlespace. The exercise will also include activities that will highlight the integral role of inter-agency collaboration in the conduct of maritime and naval operations,” Capt. Javier, the Exercise Director stated.
According to Rear Admiral Adaci, Jr., the naval exercise aims to test wartime and peacetime doctrines in the conduct of amphibious operations, maritime interdiction operations, surveillance and reconnaissance of the maritime areas, civil-military operations, and a host of other traditional and non-traditional naval operations.
