Two partner nation service members move into a building with their weapons during Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) training at the Sherman military training area in Panama, Aug. 6, 2026. The exercise provided partner forces an opportunity to practice coordinated movement and security procedures in an urban environment while strengthening interoperability and enhancing regional readiness. PANAMAX 2026 seeks to improve interoperability and strengthen collective capacity to conduct complex multinational and all-domain operations to ensure free flow of commerce through the Panama Canal and maintain security and stability in the region.
