FORT MAGSAYSAY, Philippines — In a jungle training area north of Manila, American soldiers are assembling some of the military’s newest drone aircraft by hand, fitting together parts in the field before sending them into the air.

The work is being done by members of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Mobile Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, based in Hawaii, who are participating in Balikatan, the annual joint exercise between the United States and the Philippines.
