Marines stack against one another behind a Tractor Rubber-tired Articulated Steering Multipurpose vehicle Nov. 29 at Charlie runway demolition range during an explosion in exercise Forager Fury II. FF II is a joint exercise designed to employ and assess combat power generation in a deployed and austere environment. ““This training prepares for real world operations in the event that we have to set up a landing field on an island and fight pretty much anywhere,” said Keithley. “Here we’re prepared to clear a runway so MAG-12 can land (fixed-wing aircraft).”
Keithley is a platoon commander with Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, Marine Aircraft Group 12, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. The Marines are a combination of combat engineers, heavy equipment operators, and drafting and surveyors with MWSS-171. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Antonio Rubio/released)
