April 21, 2023 - The Army 18th Special Forces under the AFP Western Command (WESCOM) and PCG’s Special Operations Group - Palawan, alongside US and Australian counterparts, performed the resupply bundle drop operations training as part of the Balikatan (BK) 38-23 events. The said training activity was conducted in the coastal waters of Brgy. Punta Baja, Rizal, Palawan.

US and Australian Special Operations Forces facilitated the training activity that involved the simulation drop of resupplies employing a Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules of the US Air Force flying at low altitude. After which, participating forces immediately recovered the materials utilizing Indigenous fishing boats. This realistic scenario is designed to train the participants in the effective conduct of resupply missions in a denied area.

 
This is another great opportunity offered by the ongoing BK 38-23 in which local and foreign allied forces share knowledge and skills together toward boosting their capabilities, combat readiness and interoperability.
