I'M SERGEANT BRYCE HODGES WITH YOUR MARINE MINUTE.
Marines with 1st Battalion, 4th Marines participated in a subject matter expert exchange with the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force’ Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade April 24-29 in Sasebo, Japan. The weeklong SMEE reinforced the U.S. Marine-JGSDF partnership and commemorated the 1st anniversary of the ARDB. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continually forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
On April 30, The Marine Corps said goodbye to a fallen hero. Staff Sgt. Christopher A. Slutman, also a decorated firefighter, was laid to rest with a full honors funeral at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Slutman was killed by a roadside bomb on April 8 during a convoy near the Bagram Airfield in Kabul. He is survived by his wife, Shannon and their three daughters.
Semper Fi Staff Sgt.
