            **MANILA, Philippines (AFNS) --**U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff **Gen. CQ Brown, Jr.** traveled to the Philippines Aug. 10 to discuss ways to deepen cooperation under the enduring U.S.-Philippines alliance.

Throughout the meetings, Brown reaffirmed the great value the U.S. Air Force places on the bilateral alliance.

Brown highlighted the importance of combined exercises, noting how they advance operational concepts and capabilities. The leaders agreed that regular engagement and interoperability will continue to be a key part of the bilateral relationship.
