US Marines were operating in Northern Luzon and the Batanes Islands, Philippine territory north of the mainland -- key terrain for a potential conflict with China.
The mission, known as maritime critical terrain security operations, or MKTSO, was prepared for that conflict and had real-world implications. It was a show of force headed by elements of the Marine Corps' newest Pacific-oriented unit: the Marine Littoral Regiment, or MLR.
Last week's clash between Chinese and Philippine forces in the South China Sea left several injured, raising the specter of a future scenario that could trigger the U.S.-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) and spark a great power conflict.
