Marine troops from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and the U.S. South Command on Sunday staged a joint amphibious landing exercise in Port Belgrano Naval Base, 750 km southwest of Buenos Aires, Argentine Defense authorities said Sunday.
Some 150 Argentine marines joined those from the U.S., Brazil and Chile in the landing drills designed to improve coordination and communications during U.N. missions.
The purpose of the drills, code-named "Exchange 2008," was to improve the ability to speak a common language when a U.N. mission needs the services of the forces, a spokesmen for the Argentine Defense said.
In 2007, Chile hosted the exercises and similar drills will be held in Brazil in 2009.
