    Marines and sailors with 81 mm Mortars Platoon, Weapons Company, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, fire 81 mm mortars during a joint live fire exercise July 12. The Marines and sailors of the 31st MEU were in Australia participating in Talisman Sabre 2011. TS11 is the largest joint military exercise undertaken by the Australian defence force. Around 14,000 U.S. and 9,000 Australian personnel are participating. This exercise will increase interoperability, flexibility, and readiness, all of which are force multipliers in maintaining peace and stability in the Pacific. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and remains the nation’s force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region. (U.S. Marine photo by Lance Cpl. Garry J. Welch)
