Philippine Army, U.S. Army Pacific hold room-clearing interoperability exercise
A platoon-sized contingent from the Philippine Army took part in a two-day room-clearing combined interoperability exercise (COIE) with their U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) counterparts in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija on April 3-4, 2022.
The room-clearing drill is part of the series of combined interoperability exercises (CIOEs) that will culminate in the Military Operations in Urban Terrain / Airfield Seizure Joint Interoperability Exercise (JIOE) in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija.
Troops from the 92nd Infantry Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division trained side by side with their USARPAC in attacking and clearing an airfield, involving isolating the objective, suppressing the threat, advancing the assault element, assaulting the building, clearing the building, and consolidating and reorganizing the force.
Around 8,900 Filipino and American soldiers are participating in this year’s iteration of Balikatan. The annual bilateral exercises, hosted by Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and US Armed Forces Indo-Pacific Command, are geared at strengthening interoperability and enhancing capabilities, trust, and cooperation built over decades of shared experiences.
