Seated, Staff Sgt. Nicholas Blitz, a Marine reservist from Baltimore, Md., and combat engineer attached to Special Marine Air-Ground Task Force-24, shows a group of Peruvian Marines the capabilities of a remote-controled rover used for bomb-inspection and disposal. The white square is the wireless antenna that captures video imagery and controls the vehicle movements. The 10 nation exercise Partnership of the Americas / Southern Exchange will focus on interoperability between the USMC and forces from nine other partner nations, exposing them to fundamentals that will enhance partner nation capabilities in the execution of peacekeeping operations and humanitarian aid/disaster relief missions that are common amongst Marines throughout the Americas: marksmanship, patrolling, convoy operations, water survival, amphibious training, checkpoint operations, civil affairs, human rights training and military operations in urban terrain.
