U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Jerry Brumfield, (right), and Lance Cpl. Cameron Kern check serial numbers for equipment during a maritime prepositioning force (MPF) offload for Exercise Balikatan aboard the U.S.N.S Pililaau (TAKR-304), March 22, 2019, at Subic Bay International Airport, Republic of the Philippines. MPF offloads provide the Marines Corps the ability to distribute equipment and assets to service members in deployed environments through the Indo-Pacific region at a moment’s notice. Balikatan is a Tagalog phrase that means “shoulder-to-shoulder” and is an annual exercise between the U.S. military and the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Brumfield, motor transport maintenance chief with Motor Transport Maintenance Company, 3rd Maintenance Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, is a native of Homua, Louisiana. Kern, a heavy equipment mechanic with Headquarters Company, 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, is a native of Deridder, Louisiana. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mark FIke)
