Southcom Leaders Discuss Dealing With Hemispheric Threats
Oct. 5, 2020 | BY David Vergun , DOD News

Illegal fishing, transnational criminal activities and malign foreign influence meddling in South and Central America, and the importance of counterbalancing those threats with effective partnerships in that region was discussed today by the leaders of the U.S. Southern Command.

Navy Adm. Craig S. Faller, the commander of U.S. Southcom; and Jean Manes, the civilian deputy commander of U.S. Southcom, joined an Americas Society/Council of the Americas roundtable conversation.

The main mission of U.S. Southcom is to defend the United States. That's primarily accomplished through working with partners, said Faller. "We have some really strong, capable partners in this hemisphere."
