The Marines worked with Perquimans and Bertie county managers to address the needs of the communities while building interoperability with the Army’s civil affairs groups. The training also helped Marines prepare for deployment, where they use their civil affairs skills to serve as liaisons and build a relationship between the military and host nation governments.
