Dawson, the air officer with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, teach a portion of the close air support subject matter expert exchange at Naval Base Heracleo Alano, Sangley Point, Cavite City, Philippines, Oct. 4, 2017, during KAMANDAG. Bilateral exercises such as KAMANDAG increase the ability of the United States and the Philippines to rapidly respond and work together during real world terrorist or humanitarian crises, in order to accomplish the mission, support the local population and help mitigate human suffering. KAMANDAG is an acronym for the Filipino phrase "Kaagapay Ng Maddirigma Ng Dagat," which translates to "Cooperation of Warriors of the Sea." ( Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Nathan Maysonet)
