Policía Nacional de Panamá Cabo 1ro Juan Martinez highlights his experience training alongside the U.S. and exchanging knowledge on counter-small unmanned aerial systems at Panamá Pacífico, Panama. #PANAMAX26 scenarios help the defense and public security forces of participating nations improve interoperability, hone their skills through coalition and all-domain operations, forge strong cooperative partnerships, and demonstrate their collective capacity to respond to and deter threats to the region and its critical waterways. 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 @MinSegPma @policiadepanama
