Marines with Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, perform cart-wheels to warm-up before starting Marine Corps Martial Arts Program training inside the hangar bay aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), underway in the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 6, 2018. MCMAP is a hand-to-hand defense program that all Marines learn during their career – Marines, and Sailors assigned to Marine Corps units, earn different colored belts to denote proficiency with martial arts. BLT 2/5 is the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Ground Combat Element. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations across the Indo-Pacific region.
