A smaller number of US troops would take part in this year’s Balikatan joint military exercises with Filipino soldiers, the military said yesterday.


Armed Forces chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon Jr., told reporters that about 380 US soldiers and almost the same number of Filipino troops would join the war games, which starts on Feb. 19 in  Metro Manila.


"At this time, the field training exercises are still no go, there will be a delay but my understanding is this will be pursued in the next quarter," he said.
