    Sgt. Jonathan Shue, non-commissioned officer-in-charge, machine shop, Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 36, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force, preparers to bayonet a target here May 15 during the 2011 Australian Army Skill at Arms Meeting. There is nothing that a Marine wants to hear more than 'fix bayonets' and nothing that the enemy fears more, said Shue. The week-long meeting pit military representatives from partner nations in competition in a series of grueling combat marksmanship events. Represented nations include Canada, France (French Forces New Caledonia), Indonesia, Timor Leste, Brunei, Netherlands, U.S., Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand as well as a contingent of Japanese observers.
