Exercise Sagip, which translates to English roughly as Exercise 'Lend Assistance,' tested American and Philippine military planners in navigating the Philippine Disaster Management System. When American and Philippine forces respond to a natural disaster or mass casualty event in the western Pacific region, like the humanitarian support to last year's flood victims in the Philippines pictured here, these allies will better understand the language of civilian disaster relief agencies and each others' management process because of exercises like Sagip. In this photo, III Marine Expeditionary Force Marines and members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines deliver relief supplies in Manila, Republic of the Philippines, in the aftermath of the storms that flooded areas of the country Sept. 26 and Oct. 3.
