This section grants US forces the authority to carry out just about the whole gamut of possible military operations within their camps. Contrary to their previous public pronouncements, there is no provision in the EDCA that access to so-called Agreed Locations is to be granted "upon the invitation" of the Philippines. Sovereignty over these areas is surrendered to the US as its forces are granted authority to do practically anything that a military force need and want within its military bases. Allowed the right to preposition and deploy its forces and war materiél within the US-controlled areas, these Agreed Locations can and will serve as US launching pads for its wars of aggression and gunboat diplomacy operations. Recall how the US used Clark and Subic as launching pads from which it carried out its wars of aggression against Vietnam from the 1950s to the 1960s as well as against Iran in the 1970s.
Matagumpay na naisagawa kagabi ang pamamarusa ng BHB-Batangas sa pamamagitan ng pagsunog sa mga kagamitan sa konstruksyon sa paggawa ng kalsada nina Henry Sy sa Hacienda Looc ng Nasugbu. Isasakripisyo ang mga sakahan ng mga magsasaka para matuloy lamang ang kalsadang idudugtong sa barangay Bulihan ng Nasugbu sa bayan ng Magallanes Cavite. Napilitan isagawa ito para irehistro ng BHB Batangas ang mariing pagtutol sa proyektong Eko-Turismo na nagdudulot ng malawakang pangwawasak ng mga sakahan at maramihang paglabag sa karapatang pantao tulad ng panununog ng mga kubo, paninira ng pananim at pangungumpiska ng mga tanim, uling at kahoy na panggawa ng bahay ng mga magsasaka ng Hacienda Looc na masugid na ipinapatupad ng mga bayarang Security Guard ni Henry Sy at Virata ng Cavite.
