Spanish and U.S. marines train together in interoperability and high intensity environments

During the week March 23–27, Spanish ‘Tercio de Armada’ and ‘Tercio del Sur’ Marines and USMC counterparts from Morón Air Base, conducted a joint exercise in the Sierra del Retín range to train on high intensity combat techniques.

In the course of a 72-hour non-stop exercise, they carried out a series of drills on LFX (live fire exercise), tactics, reconnaissance, and day and night insertion operations with helicopters.

The exercise has shown a high degree of interoperability and similar combat training levels, as well as a significant capability for adaptation in changing tactical situations, versatility and the use of combined weapons.
