Gen. Len "Loni" Anderson, right, commanding general of 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Forces Reserve, during the kick off of UNITAS LXIII at Ilha do Governador, Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 6, 2022. The senior leaders within both nations’ Marine Corps discuss the importance of combined planning and training efforts to retain strong partnerships and ensure their forces are ready when needed. UNITAS, throughout its 63 iterations, has proven to develop and sustain relationships that improve the capacity of our reemerging and enduring maritime partners to achieve common objectives. Additionally, the military-to-military exchanges foster mutual cooperation, understanding, and respect among participating navies and marine corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Maj. Jeremy Wheeler)
