U.S. Army Maj. Ryan Hubbs congratulates an Ecuadorian marine on the completion of air assault training during a ceremony at the end of an air assault training exchange in Latacunga, Ecuador, Aug. 21, 2025. The skull is the insignia of the 9th Special Forces Brigade of Ecuador, and adorns uniforms, equipment, and static displays across the unit. At the conclusion of an exchange, it is also customary for partners to trade patches as a gesture of camaraderie. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Caleb Sooter)
