Letters from Your Soldiers
Thank you from Djibouti Africa! We received your care package yesterday. We absolutely love the snacks and sweet treats. The letters were also a major morale boost. We all appreciate the support and all the goodies. We are 24/7 ops and these mean more than can be articulated in emails. God bless.

Rizal, Philippines. (April 26, 2025): This week the U.S. and the Philippines concluded Balikatan 25, a joint military exercise that puts China on notice… we will be ready. In this photo by Sergeant Ezekieljay Correa, U.S. Marine Sergeant Ceasar Luna, right, Australian Army Lieutenant Benjamin Buchanon, left, and Philippine Airman Sergeant Edmond V. Quimson Jr. observe a target during a close-air support rehearsal.
This is the fortieth Balikatan exercise that featured joint sailing, medical evacuation, and live fire events. In addition to conventional warfare, the militaries practiced providing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. It is also the first time the games were joined by the Japan Maritime Self-defense Forces.
The exercise opened with a maritime interdiction scenario where Philippine Navy assets swiftly engaged and neutralized a simulated seaborne invasion. The U.S. Navy contributed Sailors from the USS Savannah and USS Comstock who participated in exercises involving maritime search and rescue, replenishment at sea, and gunnery training. For the first time, the Americans deployed their Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System, a ground-based launcher designed for sea denial and control with a range of one hundred nautical miles.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
