Smashing the Cartels: The 22nd MEU’s Secret War in the Caribbean

In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of a historic, grinding 10-month deployment that just wrapped up in our own backyard. The heavily armed Marines and Sailors of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) just returned home after spearheading Operation Southern Spear under U.S. Southern Command. We break down the stark reality of how these amphibious forces took the fight directly to heavily armed transnational narco-terrorist networks, guarded our southern approaches, and changed the rules of engagement in the Western Hemisphere.
