MAYPORT, Fla. (March 25, 2023) Electronics Technician 1st Class Ryan Strandberg, assigned to Commander, U.S. Naval Forces South/U.S. 4th Fleet Navy Reserve component (NR USNAVSOUTH/C4F), receives a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, for his role in UNITAS LXIII, from Lt. Cmdr. Roderick “Rodeo” Lacerna, executive officer, at an awards ceremony on March 25, 2023. Strandberg is a native of Oostburg, Wisconsin and a 2007 graduate of Kankakee Valley High School. "For this year's exercise I was aboard a British Navy ship," said Strandberg. " It was an amazing experience to see the way the world’s oldest navy operates with pride and professionalism. Being a part of it is an experience I never thought I would have in the reserve." UNITAS brought together multinational forces from Belize, Brazil, Cameroon, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico, Namibia, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom, Uruguay, and the United States conducting operations in and off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The yearly exercise trains forces to conduct joint maritime operations through the execution of anti-surface, anti-submarine, anti-air, amphibious and electronic warfare operations that enhance warfighting proficiency and increase interoperability among participating naval and marine forces. USNAVSOUTH/4th Fleet supports U.S. Southern Command's joint and combined military operations by employing maritime forces in cooperative maritime security operations in order to maintain access, enhance interoperability, and build enduring partnerships in order to enhance regional security and promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the Caribbean, Central and South American regions.(U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Hunter S.
