Force reconnaissance Marines with 4th Force Reconnaissance Company swim with a gradient reel while hydrographic measurements are obtained during hydrographic reconnaissance training at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows in Waimanalo, Hawaii, Jan. 13. The training was part of a weeklong jump and dive training package that brought the unit, headquartered in Alameda, Calif., together with their Hawaii-based counterparts — 4th Force's 4th platoon. "We are the tool our generals use to determine the geographical makeup of the land," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Mike Weissman, a hospital corpsman with 2nd platoon, 4th Force. "Before he makes the decision to execute a mission, the beach's gradient has to be surveyed. We come in clandestinely at night and make an underwater map of the beach for him."
