France will join in this year's Balikatan joint military exercises that will focus more on maritime in areas of the far-northern Philippines close to Taiwan. Balikatan,” which means “shoulder to shoulder” in Tagalog, got underway last year after Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sought to allay public fears that a beefed-up American military presence in the country would unnecessarily draw the Southeast Asian country into a conflict in case China attacked Taiwan.

Russia has reorganized its military-administrative structure. Two new military districts have been deployed instead of the liquidated Western District, as stated in the new decree of the president of the Russian Federation.
On February 26, 2024, Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 141, “On the Military-Administrative Division of the Russian Federation,” which reorganized the military-administrative structure of the Russian army.
According to the decree, the Western Military District in the Russian Federation is divided into two smaller ones: Moscow and Leningrad. Instead, the Northern Fleet lost the status of a district.
Starting February 26, 2024, Russia will be divided into five military districts: Moscow, Leningrad, Southern, Central, and Eastern.
According to the new decree, the occupied Ukrainian territories of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions are included in the Southern Military District.
The new division and reorganization of the Russian army are associated with a revision of the balance of power, which is taking place after Finland’s accession to NATO and Sweden’s potential accession to the North Atlantic Alliance.
As of 2022, the Western Military District, from which the Moscow and Leningrad Military Districts are to be created, had under its command the 1st Tank Army, the 6th and 20th Combined Arms Armies, the 6th Air and Air Defense Forces Army, and the Baltic Fleet with the 11th Army Corps (Kaliningrad).
With the emergence of the occupied territories, the Southern District should officially receive the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the unrecognized republics, which are already under the control of the Russian Federation.

Philippines to Boost Military Presence at Northernmost Islands Near Taiwan (Feb. 9, 2024)
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro has directed the military to increase the troop presence on the northernmost islands near Taiwan to strengthen Manila’s territorial defence capabilities. As per a directive issued during his visit to naval facilities in the remote Batanes islands, Teodoro also emphasised the need for further development of structures in the area. Starting 2024, the operational tempo for the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines) will be higher. The Bashi Channel between those islands and Taiwan is considered a choke point for vessels moving between the western Pacific and the contested South China Sea. The Chinese military regularly sends ships and aircraft through the channel, Taiwan’s defence ministry has said. In November, the militaries of the Philippines and the United States launched joint patrols off the waters of the Philippines’ northernmost point. the US military was in talks to develop a civilian port in Batanes, a move that would boost American access to strategically located islands facing Taiwan.
