Members of the Philippine National Police - Maritime Group, 2nd Special Operations Unit and their Philippine Coast Guard Special Operations Force partners prepare to clear a notional ship during a close-quarter battle drill demonstration May 30, 2022, near Puerto Princesa, Palawan. This military engagement provided an opportunity for the Philippine National Police, Philippine Coast Guard Special Operations Force and U.S. Special Operations Forces to exchange tactics, techniques and procedures with each other in an effort to enhance interoperability while sharing new ideas for maritime operations. Other TTPs exchanged during the engagement included small boat handling, sensitive site exploitation, and compliant and non-compliant visit, board, search and seizure operations. The Philippines and United States have a continued interest in strengthening our military-to-military relationship and reinforcing our maritime security efforts in support of our treaty commitments to each other.
