Cold Weather Training in Ushuaia, Argentina

“We know that we have the advantage against our adversaries in any climate, any place.”

Seven U.S. Marines assigned to the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center trained alongside Argentine Marines assigned to the 4th Marine Infantry Battalion during a bilateral cold-weather and mountain warfare training exchange Sept. 9-21, 2026.

The training included cross-country skiing, avalanche response, crevasse rescue, glacier travel, tactical movement, enemy-contact drills and a force-on-force exercise. The exchange strengthened shared capabilities, trust and interoperability while improving both forces’ readiness to operate together in austere cold-weather environments.

“Senior enlisted leaders are central to readiness.”

Enlisted service members are the backbone of professional military forces. The senior noncommissioned officer corps that leads them is crucial to the readiness, professionalism, and lethality of the force. The bi-annual PISAJ military exchange with Colombia strengthens both of our forces and bolsters security in the Western Hemisphere.
