U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Immanuel Garcia, a metal worker with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force – Southern Command (SPMAGTF-SC) welds a support beam to support the pipe the Marines are replacing on Sep 19, 2018 in Trujillo, Honduras. The water valve was stuck at 80% shut-off effecting 6 local communities containing roughly 8,000 people. The Marines repaired the pipe to return water to the local communities. The Marines and sailors of SPMAGTF-SC are conducting security cooperation training and engineering projects alongside partner nation military forces in Central and South America. The unit is also on standby to provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in the event of a hurricane or other emergency in the region. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Justin M. Smith)
