A 'wave of democracy' has swept through Latin America and the Caribbean Basin. In order to keep pace with the changing environment, multilateralism has replaced the historic unilateral stance with regard to U.S. policy in the region. Within this philosophical framework, the U.S. Southern Command's approach to peacetime engagement requires that all U.S. sponsored exercises and operations are multilateral in nature. This new approach to multilateral-only training and operations will improve military-to-military interaction throughout the Americas, and complement future political, social and economic relationships in the region. It will also help to offset the reduction of deployed U.S. forces, the closing of bases in Panama, and the decline of U.S. and theater-wide military budgets.
