Marines with 9th Engineer Support Battalion and Philippine soldiers with 564th Engineer Construction Battalion work together mixing mortar, shoveling it into buckets, and passing it down an assembly line to construct a two-classroom building during Exercise Balikatan 21 in Barangay Ilosong, Plaridel, Ph., April 1, 2021. Humanitarian and civic assistance activities during Balikatan provide direct support to local communities, while enabling our forces to get to know each other on a personal level.
