Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Paolla Demazeliere translates for Marine Staff Sgt. Chris Sargent, both assigned to Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force (SPMAGTF) South, during a improvised explosive device (IED) information exchange at the International Center for Amphibious Training located in Covenas, Colombia, while conducting bilateral training exercise with Colombian marines, known as Infanteria de Marina. 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 Southern command and the 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. ( Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class John Scorza/Released) USS America activity 140716-N-YB590-223
