Landing Craft, Utility 1663 sits loaded, staged, and ready in the well deck of the amphibious transport dock ship USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19) on the evening prior to the culminating amphibious raid of UNITAS LXIII, off the coast of Brazil, Sept. 15, 2022. The amphibious raid is the final joint and combined training evolution of UNITAS LXIII where marines and navy personnel from 19 different countries combine their collective resources to conduct a ship-to-shore operation to seize a known objective. The culminating amphibious event showcases the collective efforts of the multinational force regarding planning, preparation, and coordination and illustrates the interoperability and ethos of UNITAS. For the last 63 years, UNITAS has developed and sustained 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 and understanding among participating navies and marine corps. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Maj. Jeremy Wheeler)
