Members of the Philippine and Indonesian military are set to hold PHILINDO Strike IV exercises in Maguindanao.
Colonel Edgar L. Catu, Chief of Staff of the 6 Infantry Division (6ID) who served as host of the exercise expressed the honor of hosting the activity.
“This bilateral exercise is a testament to the enduring friendship and cooperation between the Philippines and Indonesia,” Catu said, adding “I am confident that this exercise will be a valuable platform for learning, collaboration and mutual benefit.”
The Indonesian delegation was led by its 11th Infantry Brigade Commander Colonel Inf Yoki Malinton Kurniafati.
The PHILINDO STRIKE IV-2024 exercises will feature various training activities aimed at further enhancing the collaboration and operational efficiency of the two nations’ armed forces.
The joint exercises aim to improve the operational readiness of both military forces, with a focus on addressing threats to international security and stability, particularly in Southeast Asia, where ongoing challenges demand heightened preparedness.
