This publication reveals how U.S. Army South (ARSOUTH) planned for PANAMAX 24 (PMX24), how they transitioned to a multinational force headquarters, Multinational Force South (MNFS), and presents both the successes and challenges while conducting OPERATION FUTURO NOBLE to secure the Panama Canal. The chapters contain input from ARSOUTH Directorates and Special Staff, with lessons and best practices from across the warfighting functions (WfFs). In addition, towards the end of the publication, there are multiple U.S. and partner nation (PN) key leader interviews. Because of the experience level of those interviewed, responses to questions are both forthright and precise on issues. What is shared not only benefits this command but has applicability for other units preparing for a similar mission set.

While previous techcraft articles gathered insight from direct leadership feedback, this deeper study used a more rigid framework to analyze units that have been successful in innovation and integration, to generate Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) recommendations for the Army.
