U.S. Embassy, Manila Philippines - Manila, Philippines - Government Organization | Facebook U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. James Carter, assigned to the 9th Engineer Support Battalion, participates in a boodle fight along with U.S. Navy Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5, and Armed Forces of the Philippines Engineers at Don Joaquin Artuz Memorial Elementary School in Tapaz, Philippines, during Balikatan 2015, April 23. A boodle fight is a Filipino military tradition in which food is placed on a table and is eaten communally with the right hand. The engineers are part of the Combined-Joint Civil-Military Operations Task Force on the island of Panay that is constructing two classrooms at the school. Balikatan, which means “shoulder to shoulder” in Filipino, is an annual bilateral training exercise aimed at improving the ability of Philippine and U.S. military forces to work together during planning, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations.
