Respiratory and diarrheal diseases pose a significant health risk to exercise participants and represent a substantial portion of medical encounters and lost duty days. We conducted surveillance for respiratory and diarrheal illness at the Cobra Gold and Balikatan military exercises in Thailand and the Philippines from 2023\u20132025. Through coordination with health providers in the field, military personnel that reported acute symptoms were asked to provide a nasopharyngeal swab or stool sample. These samples were transported to a field lab and tested by PCR for common respiratory and diarrheal pathogens. Follow-up analyses included bacterial culture, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and viral whole-genome sequencing. From 84 respiratory and 61 diarrheal samples analyzed, we found that respiratory illness was primarily attributed to rhinoviruses\/enteroviruses (23%), common coronaviruses (21%), and SARS-CoV-2 (11%) while diarrheal disease was attributed to a high rate of diarrheagenic E. coli (73%) and norovirus (20%), followed by Salmonella spp. (18%) and Campylobacter spp. (13%). Our findings highlight the distinct etiologies of respiratory and diarrheal disease in military field settings and demonstrate the feasibility of conducting real-time infectious disease surveillance in operational environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/tropicalmed10120353","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,17]],"date-time":"2025-12-17T10:41:23Z","timestamp":1765968083000},"page":"353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Respiratory
