U.S. Marines with 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division; 2nd Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division; and members of the Chilean naval infantry build snow shelters as part of a bilateral cold weather training exercise in Punta Arenas, Chile, Aug. 20, 2023. Throughout the exercise, Marines learned proper techniques for obtaining food and water, employed different weapons and gear, built shelters, 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.
