    UNITAS LIX

    UNITAS LIX    

    LIX is the roman numeral for 59 indicating the 59th year of the exercise. UNITAS, which is Latin for "unity," is an annual exercise conceived in 1959 and first executed in 1960, making it the world's longest-running annual multinational maritime exercise. UNITAS demonstrates U.S. commitment to the region and to the value of the strong relationships forged between our partner militaries. This year Colombia is the host country for UNITAS.
