The “US Task Force Ayungin” assembled in the West Philippine Sea has no “direct participation” in resupply missions to the BRP Sierra Madre grounded on the shoal, National Security Adviser Secretary Eduardo Año said.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III earlier confirmed the existence of the task force amid persistent geopolitical tensions involving the West Philippine Sea. China claims the shoal despite its more than 1,000 kilometers distance from its nearest major landmass, Hainan island. Although the specific roles of the US troops remain classified, their presence is linked to security operations in disputed parts of the WPS.
