Task force Marines increase unit readiness with small unmanned aircraft system

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. --

The crisis-response capabilities of Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force – Southern Command reached new heights.

Task force U.S. Marines certified as small Unmanned Aircraft System operators at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, after months of training for the capability to use these small drones to get aerial depictions of a given terrain.

This is the first iteration of the SPMAGTF-SC out of the last six years to have eight Marines certified as SUAS operators. Along with many other capabilities, the SPMAGTF-SC can now offer partner nations live drone surveillance as a means to support crisis response missions and activities in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
