A U.S. Marine assigned to I Marine Expeditionary Force conducts a joint limited technical inspection during a maritime prepositioning force offload March 14, 2026, at the Port of Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. The operation supported the rapid distribution of forward-positioned equipment for Exercise Balikatan 2026 and demonstrated how prepositioning processes support distributed sustainment by conducting offload, distribution and regeneration across afloat platforms, ashore nodes and transportation networks. Balikatan is a longstanding annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. military designed to strengthen the alliance, improve combined capabilities and demonstrate commitment to regional security and stability.
