Filipino and American troops participating in this year's "Salaknib" exercises will take part in a rocket system live fire exercise at Fort Magsaysay in Nueva Ecija on April 1.
Personnel from the AAR's MLRS Battery and the US Multi-Domain Task Force began the rocket system subject matter expert exchange (SMEE) on March 16 at the AAR headquarters in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija.
The rocket system SMEE, according to Trinidad, is designed to train participants on the procedures governing the employment and deployment of rocket weapon systems, as well as their integration with other fire support assets.
Trinidad stated that the PA is committed to improving soldiers' individual skills and unit competencies through ongoing training exercises such as the ongoing PA-US Army Pacific (USARPAC) "Salaknib" drills scheduled from March 13 to April 4.
The Army-to-Army training program "Salaknib" is a collaboration between the PA and USARPAC.
Meanwhile, around 3,000 soldiers from USARPAC's 25th Infantry Division and Pennsylvania's 5th Infantry Division, 7th Infantry Division, and 1st Brigade Combat Team are training side by side in a variety of military operations.
The second phase of the exercise is scheduled for the second quarter of this year.
