U.S. Marines and Sailors with 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, swim through open water during cold water survival training as part of a bilateral cold weather training exercise at Isla Dawson, Chile, Aug. 20, 2023. Throughout the exercise, Marines learned proper techniques for obtaining food and water, employed different weapons and gear, built shelters, practiced foot movements over snow, and conducted cold weather personnel rescue. Training exchanges like this give Chilean Marines the opportunity to exchange best practices with regional partners in similar cold weather environments while strengthening partnership and enhancing overall interoperability with the U.S. Marine Corps.
