    OFF CALABASH CAY, Belize, (June 19, 2015) A gunnery team aboard the Mexican navy ship Independencia engages in a gunnery exercise (GUN-EX), firing upon a target towed by a boat from the Canadian ship HMCS Glace Bay during Tradewinds 2015 Phase Two. The combined, joint U.S. Southern Command-sponsored exercise strengthens the capacity of Caribbean nations to respond to natural disasters, humanitarian crises and counter transnational organized crime.
