Two MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft containing Marine infantrymen land near Tinian’s North Field Sept. 20 as part of the island seizure portion of Exercise Valiant Shield 2014. The Marines within the aircraft disembarked and the Osprey took off before the Marines made their way to reclaim a compound that has been captured by simulated opposing forces, Guam Army National Guard’s Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 294th Infantry Regiment. Valiant Shield is a U.S.-only exercise integrating Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps assets, offering real-world joint operational experience to develop capabilities that provide a full range of options to defend U.S. interests and those of its allies and partners. The Ospreys are with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
