US MILITARY ASSISTANCE | US promises more assistance to improve local military bases

(November 22, 2022) – The United States promised to provide more resources to improve and develop five local military bases where it was allowed access under a 2014 security arrangement, a senior US administration official said.

Washington has allocated $82 million to build structures, like warehouses and barracks and improved facilities, including runways. in four air force bases and an army training camp in the Philippines under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

“The United States has allocated over $82 million toward EDCA implementation at the existing locations and more is on the way, and we have awarded the vast majority of contracts supporting these projects to Philippine companies,” a senior administration official said without elaborating how much the US would be investing in the local military bases.

“And I think I noted that more funding is on the way.”

The US administration official said they have identified several more locations where the US military wanted to gain access to deepen and broaden the security relations between the two long-time allies.

The new locations would mean Washington would be increasing its financial and material assistance to Mania.

“EDCA provides the legal basis for our military to operate in agreed locations in the Philippines on a rotational basis,” the US administration official said. “And there are currently five EDCA locations. And we’re announcing now that we have identified new locations to deepen our work together. This will allow for more security cooperation exercises, combined training activities, and it will allow us to respond to disaster relief and humanitarian assistance needs.”

Under the 2014 agreement, the Philippines allowed the US military to co-locate its forces at four air bases in Pampanga, Palawan, Cebu and Cagayan de Oro City and a jungle training camp in Nueva Ecija.

The US military said it would complete all 26 projects in five bases by 2023, or before the end of the 10-year EDCA deal. The agreement is renewable.

A local defense and military official said the US is interested in five more locations, most of them in the northern Luzon area, near the volatile Taiwan Straits. One of the locations could be an underutilized air force base in Lal-lo town in Cagayan and an army base in Isabela.

There was also a request for additional locations in Zambales and Palawan, both areas facing the disputed South China Sea. Zambales is opposite Scarborough Shoal while Palawan is near the Spratly.

China claims almost the entire South China Sea. Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have conflicting claims in the strategic sealane believed to have rich deposits of energy resources. More than $3 trillion worth of seaborne goods also pass through the South China Sea.

But the US administration official said Washington is not ready to divulge where and how many new locations would be added under EDCA,

“I don’t think you should expect specific announcements on those locations because that process is still underway,” the US administration official said.” What we’re saying is that we are engaged with the Philippines about expanding the program and we’ve identified some locations. And when we have finalized that work, we’ll announce exactly where they’ll be.”
