Juan Espinoza and Sergeanto segundo Oscar Toro ride in Light Armored Vehicles on the way to a joint live fire range, at the Expeditionary Advanced Base North, in Puerto Aldea, Chile, Sept. 5, 2024, while participating in UNITAS LXV. The live fire range is meant for U.S. Marine Corps Forces and Chilean Marines to demonstrate their combat capabilities and learn from each other. UNITAS, which is Latin for “unity,” was conceived in 1959 and has taken place annually since it was first conducted in 1960. This year marks the 65th iteration of the world’s longest-running annual multinational maritime exercise. (U. S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Payton Goodrich)
