THIS WEEK WE HIGHLIGHT U.S. MARINES WITH BATTALION LANDING TEAM 2/4, 31ST MARINE EXPEDITIONARY UNIT, PREPARING FOR FUTURE DEPLOYMENTS AND MARINES WITH 2ND MARINE REGIMENT ON A HIKE TO REMEMBER.
U.S. MARINES AT CAMP HANSEN, OKINAWA JAPAN, TAKE PART IN A HELICOPTER BOARDING DRILL. THIS ALLOWS THEM TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THEIR ROLES AND EQUIPMENT ON MISSIONS, IF THE SITUATION CALLS FOR IT. THESE REPETITIONS HELP LOWER THE RISK OF INJURIES AND PREPARES UNIT TEAMS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR FASTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TIMES.
OUR PHOTOS OF THE WEEK WERE TAKEN BY LANCE CPL. JUDITHANN LAZARO DEPICTING U.S. MARINES WITH 2D MARINE REGIMENT TAKING A HIKE IN CAMP LEJEUNE, NORTH CAROLINA.
IN HONOR OF THE REGIMENT’S HISTORY, MARINES PARTICIPATE IN A VARIETY OF ANNUAL COMMEMORATORY EVENTS.
THE REGIEMENT CARVES OUT TIME TO HONOR THE SACRIFICES OF THEIR PAST DURING ITS DEFINING BATTLE AT TARAWA, IN WORLD WAR II. THE EVENTS HELP EDUCATE PRESENT MARINES ON THE HISTORY OF THEIR COMMAND AND BUILDS UNIT CAMARADERIE, STRENGTHENING THE UNIT'S IDENTITY.
THAT’S YOUR MARINE MINUTE. FOR MORE STORIES VISIT MARINES.MIL AND ALL THE MARINE CORPS SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES.
