This year's Philippines-US Balikatan military exercises saw some key changes compared to previous iterations:

  • Scale: This year's Balikatan was the largest ever, with over 16,700 troops participating, exceeding the numbers from previous years [Xinhua].

  • Focus: The drills included a stronger emphasis on maritime exercises, with the Philippine Coast Guard participating for the first time [US, Philippines kick off annual joint military drills as tensions mount in South China Sea]. This suggests a focus on island defense and resupply scenarios.

  • Regional Involvement: While the core remains US-Philippines, this year included observers from ASEAN nations like Vietnam and Thailand, indicating a broader regional approach to security [US, Philippines kick off annual joint military drills as tensions mount in South China Sea].
