MAPLE RESOLVE

U.S. Marine Corps 1st Sgt. Beatty, company first sergeant with Lima Company 3rd Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, Marine Corps Forces Reserve, and a Colombian marine race to assemble and disassemble the Colombian standard-issue rifle during UNITAS LXIV aboard Escuela de Formación de Infantería Marina Coveñas in Coveñas, Colombia, July 12, 2023. The blindfold adds an extra challenge for the Colombian marine who is already familiarized with the Colombian standard-issue rifles. UNITAS focuses on strengthening our existing regional partnerships and encouraging the establishment of new relationships through the exchange of maritime mission-focused knowledge and expertise.
