CARIBBEAN SEA – U.S. Marine Corps AH-1Y Cobra and UH-1Y Huey helicopters with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263 (Reinforced), 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), fly in a formation from aboard the U.S. Navy Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), during amphibious operations in Puerto Rico while underway in the Caribbean Sea, Sept. 5, 2025. As part of their assigned responsibilities to ensure global reach and readiness, the services routinely provide U.S. Southern Command with resources, capabilities, and personnel to support its mission, War Department-directed operations, and the President’s priorities.
