Gunnery Sgt. Don Mendiola, the spectrum manager with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepares to fire an M9 service pistol during the Far East Annual Marksmanship Competition at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Dec. 8, 2017. The competition helps improve the marksmanship, proficiency and combat readiness of the participants and is the first step toward the Marine Corps Championship in Quantico, Virginia. Competitors from the Far East, Pacific, East and West come together for the championship to learn more about marksmanship and the chance to be recruited to the Marine Corps Shooting Team. As the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, the 31st MEU provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide range of military operations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
