CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines - U.S. Marines assigned to I Marine Expeditionary Force use a Marine Corps Platform Integration Center tablet and scanner during a maritime prepositioning force offload March 14, 2026, at the Port of Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. MCPIC, developed by Blount Island Command, provides real-time visibility of equipment movement and supports accountability and distribution operations. The operation supported the rapid distribution of forward-positioned equipment for Exercise Balikatan 2026 and demonstrated how prepositioning processes support distributed sustainment by conducting offload, distribution and regeneration across afloat platforms, ashore nodes and transportation networks. Balikatan is a longstanding annual exercise between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the U.S. military designed to strengthen the alliance, improve combined capabilities and demonstrate commitment to regional security and stability.
