U.S. Coast Guard and Panamanian personnel aboard a transportable port security boat conduct maritime area familiarization and refueling operations off the coast of Panama City, Panama, during #PANAMAX26. Combined maritime operations strengthen partner capabilities, improve regional readiness, and contribute to a secure environment that supports peace through strength. 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 @USCG @USCGReserve @aeronavalpanama @minsegpma
