Staff Sgt. S. D. Issac who is with Alpha Company, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, adjusts his gear alongside Royal Moroccan Armed Forces before giving them a ride in an Assault Amphibious Vehicle during Exercise African Lion 12, April 10, 2012. The training allowed the Marines to introduce the Moroccan troops to the unique capabilities of the AAV, which the Marines drove onto the beach that morning from the USS New York off the coast of Morocco. This exercise is the first event for the 24th MEU and Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, both of which deployed in March on a regularly scheduled deployment to serve as a theater reserve and crisis response force.
