U.S. Sailors with 2nd Medical Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, in support of Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force UNITAS LXIII discuss medical treatment with Brazilian marines while participating in a surgical training event during exercise UNITAS LXIII in Marambaia, Brazil, Sept. 10, 2022. The training event consisted of a medical equipment presentation, a field surgery, and a casualty evacuation via a Brazilian armored personnel carrier. UNITAS, which is Latin for “unity,” was conceived in 1959 and has taken place annually since first conducted in 1960. This year marks the 63rd iteration of the world’s longest-running annual multi-national maritime exercise. Additionally, this year Brazil celebrated its bicentennial, a historical milestone commemorating 200 years of the country’s independence. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. David Intriago)

A U.S. Marine Corps AH-1Z Venom with Marine Light Helicopter Attack Squadron (HMLA) 775, Marine Aircraft Group 41, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Forces Reserve, takes off during Integrated Training Exercise (ITX) 4-22 at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, Calif., July 29, 2022. 4th Marine Aircraft Wing squadrons, including HMLA-775, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 764, Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 112, Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 234, and Marine Wing Support Squadron 473, worked side-by-side to execute an Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations scenario during ITX 4-22. MAG-41 tripled the combat radius of the AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom via multiple refueling methods, including the first use of the Tactical Aviation Ground Refueling System during an exercise by the Reserve Component. This vastly reduced the refueling time required and prevented MAG-41 personnel and aircraft from being targeted by the enemy. This scenario was carried out entirely by MAG-41 assets and demonstrated the Reserve Component's capability to execute missions described in Force Design 2030. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
