00:00 In the scenario of the attack, the troops of Australia, the Philippines and the United States will join forces to reclaim the islands that were occupied by a so-called "enemy country" that they called "enemy".
00:16 The soldiers who served as the enemy forces have red stickers on their arms and red flags. Using air assets such as F-35 stealth jets and V-22 Ospreys, as well as amphibious assault vehicles and M1A1 battle tanks,
00:33 the coalition forces will attack the island at the same time to reclaim the island. You can imagine the war zone this naval base where the joint exercise was conducted.
00:45 President Bongbong Marcos himself witnessed the demonstration of the allied forces.
00:51 "It's like watching a movie."
00:53 "This is a very large exercise. There were so many elements involved. But they got it right."
01:00 The exercise is part of the Indo-Pacific Endeavor Campaign of Australia.
01:05 Within four months, Australia will request its defense cooperation with 14 countries, including the Philippines, for a more peaceful, safe and prosperous region.
01:18 "We share values. We share respect for the rule of law. And if one of our country's security is violated, then regional security suffers, and possibly, because of supply chains, global security."
01:33 "About where the Philippines' national security and national interest lies, it feels so similar to how Australia sees the world."
01:42 "We are very ambitious about working more closely together, about building our high-end interoperability, about seeing our defense forces become closer."
01:53 But like other joint exercises, each group served as a lesson so that the countries would get to know each other's capabilities.
02:04 "It's hard to do when it's just one country alone. But when it's two or more countries, it's even more complex because we all have slightly different methods of operating."
02:14 This part of the exercise is being held for more than a week before the visit of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
02:24 According to the President, the additional joint exercises will be held as part of the talks.
02:32 "We will come up with some new strategies and some new ideas, agreements, in terms of partnerships between our two countries."
02:42 "And of course, security and defense was going to be part of that, but that will be one part of many things that we will be discussing."
02:51 Australia has again promised that it is ready to conduct joint maritime patrols with the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
03:01 "We're really pleased with the progress of those discussions and we expect that the first of those joint patrols will happen in the not too distant future."
03:08 Aside from the US, Australia is the only country that has a visiting forces agreement with the Philippines.
03:14 In strengthening their defense cooperation between the two countries, the well-being of the Philippines is also the well-being of Australia and the whole region.
