A U.S. Marine with 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, ties branches together while building a shelter as part of a bilateral cold weather training exercise at Isla Dawson, Chile, Aug. 16, 2023. In addition to building shelters, Marines learned proper techniques for obtaining food and water, employed different weapons and gear, practiced foot movements over snow, and conducted cold weather personnel rescue. Training exchanges in South America provide U.S. forces opportunities to train in exotic environments such as humid jungles, frigid mountains, and complex waterways while strengthening partnership and enhancing overall interoperability with regional partners.
