Marine Leaders of The Americas Conference (MLAC) 2025

A Marine with the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force- Southern Command, scarifies the ground of an airfield in Mocoron, Honduras, Sept. 10, 2015. Scarifying the top three inches of the airfield allows the Operational Ready Dirt, a polymer soil stabilization agent, to penetrate deep enough into the soil to be effective. Marines with the SPMAGTF-SC are renovating an airfield in Mocoron as part of a larger mission to build relationships with partner nations in Central America. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Andy J.
