140719-N-MZ309-026 COVENAS, Colombia (July 19, 2014) Marines assigned to Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force (SPMAGTF) South load onto a tilt-rotor MV-22 Osprey after completing a bilateral training exercise with Colombian marines, known as Infanteria De Marina, at the International Center for Amphibious Training located in Covenas, Colombia. SPMAGTF South is a balanced air, ground and logistics force that can be tailored to accomplish various operations and is embarked aboard the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6). America is currently traveling through the Southern Command and 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 “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.
