U.S. Coast Guard Chief Boatswain's Mate Anthony Reynolds with Port Security Unit (PSU) 301 pilots a Transportable Port Security Boat (TPSB) to a designated training area during a boat maneuver exercise at Panama City, Aug. 3, 2026. The training brought together maritime security personnel from Panama, Mexico, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic to strengthen interoperability, enhance boat handling and maneuvering capabilities, and improve regional readiness in support of maritime security and peace through strength. PANAMAX 2026 scenarios help the defense and public security forces of participating nations improve interoperability, hone their skills during scenarios involving coalition and all-domain operations, forge strong cooperative partnerships, and demonstrate their collective capacity to respond to and deter threats to the region and its critical waterways.
