U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Jason L. Hoffarth, a light armored vehicle gunner with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, cleans an M240B machine gun, July 23, 2011, after providing security for a scenario-based exercise during Talisman Sabre 2011. Talisman Sabre 2011 is the largest joint military exercise undertaken by the Australian Defence Force. Around 14,000 U.S. and 9,000 Australian personnel participated. Talisman Sabre 2011 provided an opportunity to conduct operations in a combined and joint environment that will increase both countries' bilateral war-fighting capabilities to respond to crisis and to provide humanitarian assistance. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and remains the nation's force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region. (Photo by: Lance Cpl. Garry J. Welch)
