The US/Philippine war games are going on....and a lot of them are up here at FtMagsaysay...
Which means the noisy AI and helicopters are flying over our house.
The Philippine Special Forces teach them jungle survival skills:
The next day about 100 U.S. National Guard Soldiers maneuvered through thick jungle brush to eat wild leaves and insects. They quenched their thirst with a little king cobra blood, enhancing their jungle survival skills Feb. 19 at the Philippine Army Special Forces School at Fort Ramon Magsaysay.
and they will be holding medical clinics and bringing supplies for local schools in the rural areas.
The New Mexico National Guard is there...
Their unit was invited by MG Donald Goldhorn, the adjutant general of the Guam Guard, to participate in the exercise because of their WW II historic ties to the Philippines.
Soldiers from the New Mexico Guard were involved in the defense of the Bataan peninsula and also in the Bataan Death March in World War II.
