Marines with India Company, Battalion Landing Team, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, trigger a trip wire to set off a trip flare during a class at Andersen South Air Force Base, Guam, September 3, 2017. A trip flare is a trap that reveals the enemy’s position when the enemy crosses a barely visible wire that triggers a flame signal. Marines with BLT 3/5 train regularly in different environments to maintain their readiness as the Ground Combat Element of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy's Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group, providing a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
