    PANAMA CITY, Panama - Members of the Panamanian Security Force dive team splash out of their transport boat to conduct a search for underwater explosives during a Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) tactical training event as part of PANAMAX-ALPHA 2025 off the coast of Panama City, Panama, Aug. 7, 2025.

    Through combined operations, participating forces refine tactics, build trust, and strengthen regional security cooperation to safeguard the Panama Canal, one of the most strategic maritime routes in the world.

    PANAMAX-Alpha serves as a cornerstone of U.S. Southern Command’s integrated deterrence strategy. The exercise also aligns with broader U.S. national defense objectives—building trust, enhancing readiness, and preserving freedom of navigation in the hemisphere. (Photo by U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr.
