Top of the morning and welcome to TFB's Photo Of The Day! Today we get a closer look at U.S. Marines with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, and service members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines as they conduct the final exercise for Archipelagic Coastal Defense Continuum in Barira, Philippines, May 2024. The final exercise consisted of a bilateral company-level element conducting close-quarter combat and patrol-based operations.
