Marine Leaders of The Americas Conference (MLAC) 2025

U.S. Marines with 2d Battalion, 2d Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division, clear the corner of a building during a raid scenario as part of a bilateral jungle training event in Manaus, Brazil, Sept. 26, 2022. Activities and engagements such as jungle training reflect U.S. Southern Command’s “Enduring Promise” to be a trustworthy neighbor. Working alongside and learning from and with Brazilian counterparts reflects one of the many opportunities to honor and convey that promise. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Camila Melendez)
