I'm Lance Corporal Savannah Mosby with your Marine Minute.
Marines from 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force and the Japan-Ground-Self-Defense-Force are scheduled to conduct the bilateral-field-training-exercise Forest Light on March 5th at Soumagahara training area in Gunma prefecture, Japan. Forest Light is a routine semi-annual exercise conducted by U.S. and Japanese forces, in order to strengthen interoperability and increase readiness for crisis-response throughout the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
Also in the Corps,
Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Sailors boarded the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan for a scheduled deployment March 1st at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Marines and Sailors trained the last six-months together to become the nation's premier crisis response force for the deployment.
