SOTO CANO AIR BASE, Honduras –
Joint Task Force-Bravo will participate in PANAMAX-Alpha Phase 0, a multinational exercise taking place in Panama, from March 26- April 6, 2025.
PANAMAX is an annual exercise designed to enhance regional cooperation and interoperability between the United States and the Republic of Panama. This year's exercise will focus on enabling Panamanian forces to respond to a variety of potential threats, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and transnational threat networks.
In support of the exercise, the public can expect U.S. military personnel, including medical personnel and support staff, as well as aviation assets throughout Panama from March 26 to April 6. Members will be participating in the transportation of food, construction materials and a generator. They will also be participating in a donation ceremony of a health center.
Additionally, a medical mission will be conducted from March 24-27 in the vicinity of Colon, Panama. This mission will provide free medical care to local citizens and will serve as a valuable opportunity for U.S. and Panamanian medical personnel to conduct subject matter expert exchange.
Joint Task Force-Bravo is committed to working with our partners in the region to promote peace, stability, and prosperity.
