During the training, Marines delivered supplies and equipment by parachute from a KC-130J Hercules aircraft, demonstrating expeditionary capabilities that could be used during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions. PHIBLEX 14 is a bilateral training exercise designed to improve interoperability and enhance the ability for a bilateral force to respond to natural disasters or other regional contingencies.
