US War Games Simulate 'Full-Scale Battle' With China In Philippines

"The U.S. kicked off its largest annual military drills alongside the Philippines days ago this

week, simulating a full-on war with China. A total of 17,000 troops from 20 countries participated in the drills, dubbed Balikatan 2025, including 9,000 American soldiers and 5,000 Filipino servicemen.
U.S. Marine Corps Forces Pacific commander Lt. Gen. James Glynn said this year’s drills "will showcase a full battle test, the purposeful integration of real world security situations relevant to the region with live, virtual and constructive training opportunities that will give the Philippines and the U.S. a collective opportunity to demonstrate capabilities across all domains, across all services and all forces."
