U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Matthew D. Overly watches as M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks are lowered into the cargo hold of the USS Ashland at the Gwangyang Port, Republic of Korea April 1 during exercise Freedom Banner 2014. Throughout the on-load two 427-ton cranes loaded six M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks and five Humvees onto the ship destined for Pohang, Republic of Korea, where they will support amphibious assault exercise Ssang Yong 2014, which is a component of Marine Expeditionary Force Exercise 2014. After the tanks were loaded into the hull U.S. Navy sailors freed the tanks of the crane wiring and ground guided them into an organized formation while U.S. Marines operated the tanks. The tanks were organized in a formation that allowed space for more follow on vehicles and rapid deployment off the ship when they arrive in Pohang. Overly is the platoon commander for C. Company, 4th Tank Battalion, 4th Marine Division, assigned to the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade for the exercise. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Matt Myers/RELEASED)
