Members of Colombia's Comando Conjunto de Operaciones Especiales (CCOES), the Policía Nacional de Panamá's Tactical Anti-Drug Operations Unit (UTOA) and Counterterrorism Special Forces Unit (UFEC), and the Ecuadorian Marine Corps' Jaramijó Special Operations Battalion (BIMJAR) run along the beach toward their combat rubber raiding craft after completing a simulated assault on an objective during #PANAMAX26 in Colón Province, Panama. Multinational defense and security forces are training together during the Panamanian-hosted PANAMAX exercise. Held in Panama and the U.S., the exercise is strengthening the collective capability of regional forces to safeguard the Panama Canal and maintain security and stability in the Western Hemisphere. #PeaceThroughStrength #SOUTHCOM @DeptofWar @SecWar @thejointstaff @USArmyWHC @USEmbPan @SOCSOUTH @minsegpma @policiadepanama @FuerzasMilCol @FFAAECUADOR
