The Philippines, United States, Japan, and Australia are establishing a joint defense coordination center in Manila, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. said.
In an ambush interview on Wednesday, Teodoro said the four nations' Combined Coordination Center (CCC) aims to strengthen cooperation in domain awareness, information sharing, and military interoperability.
"There will be a coordination mechanism. Right now, it is already operating. And we may disclose certain locations upon agreement by the parties. But right now, we cannot disclose yet," Teodoro said.
Teodoro said closer coordination is needed following the Armed Forces of the Philippines' (AFP) acquisition of additional capabilities.
For Teodoro, the expanded interoperability requirements are no longer limited to educational and training activities.
Coordination for military exercises was previously handled by the AFP Education and Training Command, but has been transferred to Strategic Command. — VDV, GMA News
