Dutch Marines traveled nearly 1,600 miles to conduct bilateral training with U.S. Marines with II Marine Expeditionary Force during a weeklong exercise at Camp Lejeune, N.C., March 21-24, 2017.

The training increases interoperability between the Korps Mariniers and U.S. Marines working side-by-side as partner nations. These Dutch Marines, stationed in Aruba, welcome the opportunity to work in the cooler temperatures and urban training environment offered by North Carolina. In turn, U.S. Marines will travel to Aruba to perfect their tactics in a hot climate and perform multiple dive operations on the island.

Video includes interviews with Timon van Dishoeck, commanding officer of the Korps Mariniers company. Sgt. Justin McCormick, a military police officer with 2nd Law Enforcement Battalion.
