MIAMI, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- The U.S. Marine Corps plans to send 200 men next year to supplement an air-ground task force in the U.S. Southern Command, which oversees disaster relief, training and other operations in Central America and the Caribbean.
Brig. Gen. David Coffman, commander of Marine Corps Forces South, told the Marine Corps Times that the new unit will supplement current operations in the area.
