FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila – Army Vice Commander Maj. Gen. Henry M. Doyaoen and US Army Pacific (USARPAC) Deputy Commanding General Maj. Gen. Matthew W. McFarlane tackled the proposed 2023 activities between the two armies during the 10th PA-USARPAC Executive Steering Group Meeting on March 3, 2022 at Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila.

The areas of engagement between PA and USARPAC will focus on Army-to-Army capability development, interoperability, and military professionalization and development. Maj. Gen. Henry M. Doyaoen and Maj. Gen. Matthew W. McFarlane serve as co-chairmen of the PA-USARPAC Executive Steering Group.

Salaknib—which means “shield” in Ilocano—is an annual bilateral combined exercise that aims to enhance the defense readiness of Filipino and American troops by developing tactical interoperability. The 2022 and 2023 editions of Salaknib focus on the capability development of BCT, the Army’s primary combined arms and rapid deployment unit.
