Mexican Government Votes to Allow U.S. Marines to Enter Country for Training Exercises
[BREITBART] Mexico's Senate voted to approve a series of joint military exercises. In the coming days, 155 U.S. Marines will head south to train Mexican Navy infantrymen.
Training by day, running around the landscape like silent ghosts by night, sleeping some months from now? Make sure to get biometric data and connections for all the Mexican participants — which of the drug cartels started out as a group taking a special forces training course?
This week, Mexico's Senate voted unanimously for the joint exercise, which calls for 53 Mexican troops to travel to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, for training sessions. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is from the country's ruling party, MORENA, pushed the move.
Oh. Our guys aren’t heading south for this. I misunderstood — never mind! Except for the biometrics and connections tracing stuff — we still want to do that as a matter of principle.
Information by Mexico's Naval Secretariat (SEMAR) revealed that the joint exercise is called Amphibian Phoenix 2025. In preparation for the exercises, Semar released a series of short videos showing their naval personnel boarding a ship and preparing to sail towards Baja California, where they are expected to meet with U.S. Marines for training.
Isn’t Baja in Mexico, or have I got the geography totally confused again?

Portents.

Now that the comms have been mapped, camps ISARed and a Arleigh Burke-class warship is positioned I anticipate the training by the Marines will be 'hands-on'.

Baja the Peninsula, is two states of Mexico.

#6 I recall that the Mexican Marines are considered the most reliable, lease corrupted part of the Mexican military. So joint ops against the cartels would have the best OPSEC and success with Marine/Marine task forces, and reliable, on-call US ISAR support?
