A group from Combined/Joint Civil Military Operations Task Force (CJCMOTF) walk across the new Tapuac footbridge, following a ribbon cutting ceremony conducted to officially open the footbridge to the local barangay, Zambales, Philippines, April 17. The project was one of seven engineering civic action projects (ENCAP) completed by CJCMOTF units during Exercise Balikatan 2013. Balikatan is an annual Philippine-U.S. bilateral exercise during which humanitarian assistance and training activities enable the Philippine and American service members to build lasting relationships, train together and provide assistance in communities where the need is the greatest.
