US And Philippines Open Annual Joint Military Exercise, Several Allies Expected To Join In

The United States and the Philippines formally opened this year’s edition of Balikatan (Exercise Balikatan 41-2026) which is their annual joint military exercise focused on readiness, unity and defense, according to a news report by GMA News. Several allied nations and seventeen thousand troops are expected to participate in the exercise which will have military drills across various parts of the Philippines.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

The Philippines and the United States on Monday formally opened their annual joint Balikatan Exercise for this year, with 17,000 troops and several other countries expected to join.

“I hereby declare Exercise Balikatan 41-2026 officially open starting today,” AFP chief General Romeo Brawner Jr. said during the opening ceremony.

“Let this exercise not only demonstrate our readiness but affirm our commitment to stand together, to act together, and when necessary, defend together,” he added.

More than 17,000 troops from the Philippines, the United States, and partner nations including Australia, Canada, France, Japan, and New Zealand. At least 18 more countries are expected to serve as observers in the exercise.

The drills will be conducted across various parts of the Philippines from Luzon to Mindanao.

Balikatan 2026 will cover multiple domains such as air and missile defense, maritime security, live-fire exercises, and joint readiness operations.

The exercises will also include humanitarian and civic assistance programs such as building schools, supporting healthcare initiatives, and enhancing disaster preparedness in local communities.

Brawner said the expanded scope of the exercise reflects the evolving security environment.

Balikatan 2026 will be transformed from a bilateral activity between the Philippines and US into a multilateral effort aimed at improving interoperability and collective defense capabilities.

Brawner pointed out that the drills are anchored on respect for international law, national sovereignty, and the goal of promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think transforming this year’s Balilkatan from a bilateral US-Philippines activity into a multilateral effort makes sense? Considering the number of allies and soldiers expected to participate in the 2026 Balikatan, do you think Communist China will feel intimidated?

Pekin testuje Trumpa na Filipinach

Chiny zajeły kolejną wysepkę na Morzu Południowochińskim. Na dzisiaj nie wygląda, aby Chińczycy szykowali się do jej stałej okupacji. Zwłaszcza, że już mają w okolicy bazę na rafie Subi. Strategicznie i taktycznie cała operacja nie ma większego sensu, ale politycznie Pekin wysyła nią szereg sygnałów.

Największe ćwiczenia filipińsko-amerykańskie od rządów Aquino III

Nowy prezydent Ferdinanda Marcosa Jr. zdecydował się na odnowienie sojuszu z Amerykanami na tle rosnących napięć z ChRL na Morzu Południowochińskim. Otworzył porty dla amerykańskiej marynarki wojennej i zwiększa wydatki na obronę, a teraz wznowione na duża skalę ćwiczenia mają podkreślić poprawę więzi z Waszyngtonem.
