Pacific Warrior Spotlight: Air Commandos transport personnel and equipment in support of exercise in the Philippines
Capt. Andrew Bryant, 1st Special Operations Squadron aircraft commander looks out the window at the Philippine landscape. As a part of Teak Piston 2016, the 1st Special Operations Squadron supported bilateral subject-matter expert exchanges with the Philippine Air Force at Mactan-Benito Ebuen Air Base in Cebu, Philippines. In addition to practical aircrew training with Philippine Air Force special operations forces (SOF), this year’s joint, combined exchange training (JCET) provided an opportunity to support the U.S. Army with HALO airdrops from MC-130H Combat Talon II.
