U.S. Coast Guard Port Security Unit 301 (PSU 301) personnel discuss training objectives with partner nation forces during Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) training in Panama, Aug. 6, 2026. Sherman’s military training area provides a challenging environment for partner forces to develop urban operational skills and strengthen their ability to work together during complex missions. 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.
