SUBIC BAY FREEPORT—This former American military base is poised to be a staging area for the United States Marine Corps once again, as the maritime land force unit opened a logistics facility for Indo-Pacific region operations here on Tuesday.
“This is one of our ashore sites for humanitarian aid and disaster relief, as part of the Marine Corps’ global prepositioning network,” Watson was quoted as saying. “There will be no ammunition , just motor transportation, communication, and engineering,” Watson added. A post on the social media page of the Blount Island Command showed Watson and Aliño in a meeting, along with other SBMA and USMC officials. The Blount Island Command said the visit was “to discuss efficiencies needed for a sustainable logistics node.”
Anglicotech, which is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, describes itself as a veteran-owned business serving customers from the US East Coast to the West Coast, to Japan and the Philippines for defense supply chain management. Aliño, meanwhile, has expressed full support for the ingress of USMC equipment in Subic Bay, describing the hosting of the marine facility as “a great stride for the Subic Bay Freeport in assisting foreign allies in their thrust to provide humanitarian aid and relief assistance.”
