US and Philippine Marines participated in an Assault Amphibious Vehicle subject matter expert exchange in Subic Bay, Philippines, from Aug. 26 – Sept. 6, 2019.
The Philippine Marine Corps launched their AAVs from a Philippine Navy amphibious ship and transited from ship to shore for the first time since the inception of Kamandag in 2017. “This subject matter expert exchange is an invaluable opportunity for us to coordinate and train with our Philippine Marine Corps and Navy partners for Kamandag 3 and other future operations,” said 1st Lt. Malcolm Dunlop, an AAV platoon commander with the 4th Marine Regiment who participated in the event and reflected on its benefits to the US-Philippine relations.
James Bolt, an exercise planner for III Marine Expeditionary Force, who has been heavily involved in developing the US-Philippine Marine Corps relationship explained the AAVs very diverse set of capabilities that can be utilized for counter-terrorism, mechanized assault, as well as humanitarian assistance operations.
