THEPHDEFENSE's video: Deploying Patriot Air Defense System inside the Philippine Territory

During Balikatan 22, soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment, Marines from 3d Marine Logistics Group, and Sailors from the USS Ashland (LPD 48) conducted an unprecedented amphibious insert of a Patriot missile system in the Philippines. The training exercise was held in Aparri, Philippines on March 28, 2022, and focused on the use and operation of various military hardware, including the Landing Craft Air Cushion, PATRIOT Air Defense Missile System, Philippine Air Force Blackhawk Helicopter, Philippine Marines Amphibious Vehicle, and US Marines Helicopter Sikorsky CH53 Super Stallion Helicopter. The exercise involved a series of complex maneuvers, including ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship operations, which required the soldiers, Marines, and Sailors to work together seamlessly in order to successfully complete the mission. The soldiers were tasked with operating the Patriot missile system, which required them to have a thorough understanding of its capabilities and limitations.
