Editing Conference of American Armies (CAA) (section)

==Activities and Impact==
Conferences and Exercises: The CAA hosts specialized conferences (e.g., 2014 Fort Benning conference on 21st-century defense challenges, 2019 San Antonio conference on countering threat networks) and joint exercises to enhance interoperability. These events produce guides and doctrines, such as the 2019 counter-threat network manual.

Humanitarian Efforts: U.S. Army South, through the CAA, supports regional projects like building schools and clinics, enhancing local governance and countering anti-U.S. sentiment.

Peacekeeping Contributions: The CAA has bolstered regional peacekeeping, with member nations contributing to UN missions, reflecting its focus on collective security.

Inter-American Friendships: By fostering personal ties among army chiefs, the CAA builds trust, as seen in bilateral engagements during commanders’ conferences.

The CAA’s impact includes improved regional military coordination, shared counterterrorism strategies, and strengthened U.S. influence in Latin America, though its effectiveness depends on member nations’ political alignment and resources.
