Jungle
Survival Training
As early as 1904, with the first large
scale arrival of US marines, The jungles of Subic Bay
have been used to train military in survival techniques.
In the 1960’s with the escalation of the Vietnam
War, the jungles value as a training area was greatly
enhanced. The US military relied on real jungle experts,
the Aetas.
The Aetas are a nomadic mountain tribe who has lived
in the area for centuries. During the Vietnam War and
afterwards, the Aetas taught their skills to US military
including Marines, Navy seals and Special Forces units
at the Jungle Environment Survival Training (JEST) Camp
When the US military departed the Philippines the JEST
camp was converted to teach non-military students. Under
the SBMA, The Aetas still teach at the JEST, and act
as jungle guides and forest rangers. The Subic Bay Freeport
also host a firing range and another is nearby in Bataan.

other activities in the area, has yet to attract the
attention that many of the other surfing locations in
