Marine Leaders of The Americas Conference (MLAC) 2025

A Chilean Marine is taught the intricacies of a 240 Bravo machine gun during a demonstration at the assault course training of exercise Southern Exchange 2009 (SE09). Marines, with varying experience firing a machine gun, each spent an entire block of training firing the weapon and familiarizing themselves with its functions in case they ever find themselves behind its trigger.
