The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Royal Australian Regiment (RAR) on Friday concluded the annual Kasangga exercise.
Around 200 soldiers from both countries participated in the weeks-long joint military training held in Tanay, Rizal.
“We all know the Philippine Army still lacks in tech advancement when it comes to warfighting. Our partners in the Australian Defense Forces are coming to our help in order for us to modernize our capabilities to fight future wars,” PA Commanding General Lieutenant General Romeo Brawner said in Chino Gaston’s report on “24 Oras.”
The annual military exercise is part of the two countries' years-long strategic alliance. It aims to strengthen the Philippines and Australia’s interoperability against calamities and external threats. The country also sent out reconnaissance aircraft during the Marawi Siege that provided the AFP with real-time battle intelligence in its five-month battle with the Maute Group.
