Boondocks, n., hinterland, remote and underdeveloped area. From Tagalog bundok, meaning mountain. Mountainous terrain offered refuge and strategic advantages to Filipinos fighting for their country's independence, and patrolling the boondocks became a common task for the U.S. military as it sought to eliminate resistance to U.S. rule.

- Cousins of Color - Historical Fiction by William Schroder
The year was 1899, and Private David Fagen had a decision to make. He'd volunteered to serve in America's first overseas war to prove to the folks back home a black man's blood just as good as a white's when spilled fighting for Old Glory. Now, at the dawn of a new century, Fagen realized he was only a pawn in the white man's crusade for empire. Every time he pulled the trigger he helped enslave the people he came to liberate. In his world pandemonium ruled, anarchy the High Sheriff, and every way Fagen saw it his past was a blind alley and his future dead-ended.
Immersed in America's four-year pursuit of conquest and occupation in the Philippines, the young private was torn between loyalty to his country, his love for Clarita Socorro, the beautiful and mysterious guerilla fighter, and sympathy for her people's struggle for freedom. Unable to reconcile his participation in this violent clash of national wills and personal tragedy, Fagen defected and fought on the side of the Filipino guerillas, thereby making his mark on the history of two nations.

- Fort Drum
Fort Drum was located on El Fraile Island, about 7500 yards south of Caballo Island and by virtue of its peculiar character, a static battleship in the southern approaches to Manila Bay, it was the most unique of the Harbor Defense forts. The island itself had been leveled and a reinforced concrete battleship-shaped structure measuring 350 feet long by 144 feet wide had been built upon it.

- Military Order of the Carabao
The Military Order of the Carabao is one of the most unique organizations associated with our US military history. It was founded in 1900 to counter and satirize the very pompous Order of the Dragon, which was founded by those who had defeated the very short-lived Boxer uprising in China. This idea for a lampoon was conceived by several Army officers one night at the Army-Navy Club in Manila during the Philippine Insurrection.

- Philippine Scouts Heritage Society
The Scouts were the first and last of what some might call American colonial troops. But they were not colonials. The first Scout organizations were created in 1901 during the early days of the American occupation of the Philippine Islands by the induction of Filipinos into the service of the U. S. Armed Forces. Their mission was to help restore order and peace to a troubled area. In the ensuing two decades, the Philippine Scouts took part in subduing the fierce and warlike Moro tribes on the island of Mindanao and in the Jolo Archipelago and in establishing tranquility throughout the islands.
