The Americans will come fully armed as part of a mission to train the Mexican Navy’s Infantería de Marina (marine infantry) on conventional and non-conventional types of combat.

The training takes place from Feb. 17 through March 30 at the Luis Carpizo naval facility in the state of Campeche, according to Sen. Alejandro Moreno Cardenas, president of the Mexican Senate’s Naval Ministry Commission.

The Americans are landing in a C-130 airplane in Campeche two days prior to the start of the training, Moreno said.

The commission unanimously approved the mission without discussion or dissent on Tuesday. The vote came at the request of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the senator said.

The 7th Special Forces Group, whose motto is De Opresso Liber! (Free the oppressed!), has participated in peacekeeping operations in Panama, Peru and Ecuador, and has been deployed to Afghanistan. Also known as Green Berets, they participated in operation Just Cause, which resulted in the January 1990 capture of Panamanian dictator Gen. Manuel Noriega, wanted in the U.S. on drug charges.

Per SAN:

A handful of U.S. Army Green Berets are in Mexico, helping to train the country’s Naval Infantry Marines. The U.S. Special Forces soldiers are there at the request of Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum. The action was also unanimously approved by a Senate commission in Mexico, according to Border Report.

Eleven Green Berets from the Army’s 7th Special Forces Group will be in Mexico from Feb. 17 through the end of March. The special operators arrived fully armed but will focus on training their Mexican counterparts, according to Border Report.
