Summary
The United States and the Republic of the Philippines maintain close ties stemming from the U.S. colonial period (1898-1946), the bilateral security alliance, extensive military cooperation, and common strategic and economic interests. Although the United States closed its military bases in the Philippines in 1992, the two treaty allies have continued joint military activities related to counterterrorism and maritime security. The bilateral security relationship has gained prominence as a key link in the evolving U.S. foreign policy 'pivot' or 'rebalancing' toward Asia, and the two sides are discussing bolstering U.S. access to Philippine military facilities. Since 2002, the United States has provided non-combat assistance to the AFP through the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines. In the past decade, the Philippines has been one of the largest recipients of U.S. foreign assistance in Southeast Asia. Washington also has promised greater military cooperation with, and assistance to, the Philippines, although no permanent U.S. bases are planned.
