Cpl. Clayton Williams, an intelligence specialist with Echo Company, Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, takes a short break during a mechanized assault as part of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s MEU Exercise, near Ginoza Village, Okinawa, Japan, June 28, 2018. Williams, a native of Los Angeles, graduated from Agoura Hills High School in June 2015 before departing for Recruit Training the same month. Marines and Sailors with Echo Company performed the final training event of MEUEX, an assault launched from Camp Schwab and targeting Combat Town, part of Okinawa’s Central Training Area. Marines with Echo Company, the mechanized assault element with BLT 2/5, partner with AAV crews to perform raids and assaults launched from the sea. MEUEX is the first in a series of three pre-deployment training events that prepare the 31st MEU to deploy at a moment’s notice. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations. (Official Marine Corps Photo by Gunnery Sgt. T.
