The Marine Corps is looking to add more than 6,500 positions across infantry battalions, drone units and air defenses as the service looks to expand over the next five years.

The Philippine air force completed a $624 million acquisition of 32 S-70i Black Hawk helicopters this week, expanding a fleet used to move troops and respond to disasters across the sprawling archipelago.

The 3rd Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment will operate Patriot, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, and Indirect Fire Protection Capability systems, said Capt. Leonard Peralta, spokesman for the 94th Army Air and Missile Defense Command.

The deal will accelerate Tomahawk production at “unprecedented speed,” acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said, adding that the Pentagon is “using every available tool to meet the demand of current operations.”
