Marine Leaders of The Americas Conference (MLAC) 2025

A Brazilian Marine debriefs U.S. Marines with 2d Battalion, 2d Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division, after a raid scenario as part of a bilateral jungle training event in Manaus, Brazil, Sept. 27, 2022. Throughout the training event, U.S. Marines applied tactics and knowledge given to them by the Brazilian Marines, who regularly operate in the Amazon jungle. The U.S. Marine Corps continues to seek opportunities to train alongside Brazilian partners in deliberate and dynamic training events. Bilateral training events, such as jungle training, offer both forces a chance to increase interoperability, exchange best practices, and set conditions for future events to continue to grow a long tradition of friendship and cooperation.
