PAF to observe Talisman Sabre Exercise as spectators

The Philippine Air Force (PAF) will participate as observers in this year's Talisman Sabre Exercise hosted by Australia and the United States from March 29 to April 5.

Colonel Ma. Consuelo Castillo, PAF spokesperson, announced on Wednesday that nineteen officers and enlisted personnel will attend as spectators to learn from large-scale multinational operations.

The exercise includes live drills, amphibious landings, ground force maneuvers, air combat, and maritime operations to enhance interoperability among allied forces.

PAF's participation aims to improve doctrinal knowledge, strategic planning, coordination skills, and operational readiness for future joint exercises.

This involvement aligns with the Philippines' commitment to defense cooperation agreements with Australia and the United States.
