0:14
his visit to Manila on March 28th the US
0:18
Marine Cors made a significant move by
0:21
deploying the Navy Marine Expeditionary
0:23
Ship Interdiction System NMESIS to the
0:27
Philippines This deployment is part of
0:29
exercise Falacotten 25 and marks the
0:33
first time this advanced anti-shed
0:35
missile system has been fielded in the
0:37
Philippines The deployment underscores
0:39
the growing strength of the US
0:42
Philippines alliance and highlights the
0:44
evolving nature of military cooperation
0:47
between the two nations

The third marine literal regiment MLR
1:02
will play a key role in the field
1:04
training portion of Balacotten 25
1:07
Marines will participate in several
1:09
critical operations including integrated
1:12
air and missile defense exercises
1:15
Maritime key train security operations
1:17
in northern Lusen and the Batanis
1:20
Islands counter landing with fire drills
1:23
in Kagayian and maritime strikes at sea
1:26
These exercises involve multiple firing
1:29
systems sensors and aircraft showcasing
1:32
the combined capabilities of US and
2:00
during the maritime key train security
2:02
operations The NMESIS will be employed
2:06
to bolster defensive capabilities US
2:09
Marines from the third literal combat
2:11
team's medium-range missile battery will
2:14
collaborate with Philippine Marines from

29th Tactical Airlift Squadron They will
2:29
transport an MESIS launchers to multiple
2:32
islands in the Batonis chain Together
2:35
they will establish a fire's

This year the armed forces of the
3:02
Philippines EFP and the Philippine
3:04
Marine Cors requested that the third MLR
3:07
expand its participation in the maritime
3:10
key train security operations
3:15
NMESIS This addition enhances the
3:18
exercises scope and strengthens coastal
3:21
defense strategies The inclusion of
3:24
NESIS reflects the AFP's commitment to
3:27
modernizing its capabilities and
3:29
aligning with US efforts to counter
4:00
The NMESIS provides the third MLR with
4:03
enhanced sea denial capabilities
4:05
deepening naval integration and
4:07
strengthening deterrence by extending
4:10
the joint forces ability to target and
4:12
engage threats from both land and sea
4:15
The system plays a pivotal role in
4:17
shaping defensive strategies in the

Balacotten 2025 represents the 40th
6:03
iteration of this annual bilateral
6:06
exercise underscoring the enduring
6:08
partnership between the US and the
6:11
Philippines Taking place from April 21st
6:14
to May 9th the exercise aims to
6:16
strengthen the Ironclad Alliance improve
6:19
combined force capabilities and
6:21
demonstrate a shared commitment to
6:23
regional security and stability The
6:26
inclusion of NEES in this year's
6:29
exercise highlights the evolving nature
7:01
NMESIS system the naval strike missile
7:04
and SM a highly capable capable subsonic
7:07
cruise missile designed for precise
7:09
longrange strikes against maritime
7:11
targets The MSM's multiode guidance and
7:14
stealthy flight profile enable it to
7:16
operate effectively in complex
7:18
environments targeting everything from
7:21
large naval vessels to smaller
7:23
commercial ships Its ability to counter
7:25
modern naval threats makes it an
7:27
invaluable asset in literal combat
8:00
The NMESIS system is built Built for
8:03
operational flexibility thanks to the
8:05
rope fires carrier robotic unmanned
8:08
ground vehicle based on the JLTV
8:10
platform This highmobility system allows
8:14
an MESIS to reposition rapidly across
8:17
diverse terrains enabling distributed
8:20
operations By deploying missiles at long
8:23
range standoff distances while remaining
8:25
difficult to detect and counter the
8:28
Marine Corps can effectively engage
8:30
maritime threats from land contributing
8:33
to robust anti-surface warfare
9:00
The NMESIS is a cuttingedge coastal
9:03
anti-hship missile system developed
9:05
under the Marine Corps's first design
9:07
2030 initiative integrating the naval
9:10
strike missile with the Rogue Fires
9:12
carrier The system enhances the Marine
9:14
Corps's ability to engage enemy ships at
9:17
long ranges without relying on
9:20
traditional naval platforms Since
9:22
entering operational service in 2021
9:26
NMEIS has become a cornerstone of the
9:29
Marine Corps's anti-surface warfare
9:31
campaign offering persistence mobility
