U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, and the Philippine Marine Corps are co-hosting the 2025 Pacific Amphibious Leaders Symposium in Manila, Philippines, July 8-10, 2025. The purpose of PALS 25 is to bring together senior Marine Corps, naval infantry, maritime, and military leaders from allied and partner nations with key interest in the Indo-Pacific. Established by MARFORPAC in 2015, PALS continues to bring together a growing list of allied and partner nations. Since the symposium’s development, several ally and partner militaries from participating nations have co-hosted, including from Japan, the Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and for the first time, the Republic of the Philippines. The growing list of co-hosts demonstrates the depth of commitment among our Allies and partners to a more capable combined force across the Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
