SPMAGTF South, a balanced air, ground and logistics force that can be tailored to accomplish missions across a wide range of crises, is embarked aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6). America is traveling through the U.S. Southern command and the U.S. 4th Fleet area of responsibility on her maiden transit, "America Visits the Americas." America is the first ship of its class, replacing the Tarawa-class of amphibious assault ships. As the next generation of "big-deck" amphibious assault ship, America is optimized for aviation, capable of supporting current and future aircraft such as the Osprey and F-35B Joint Strike Fighter. The ship is scheduled to be ceremoniously commissioned Oct. 11 in San Francisco.)

The SPMAGTF is scheduled to meet and train with Colombian Marines in Cove's, Colombia. Not only is this the first stop on the ship's transit dubbed "America visits the Americas," it is also the first time Marines and Sailors will be tactically inserted into an environment from the newly built ship. Through partner-nation exchanges, key leader engagements, and security cooperation activities, the Marines and Sailors of SPMAGTF-South will demonstrate the flexibility, unity, and unparalleled expeditionary capability the Navy-Marine Corps team provides to our nation and partners.)
