U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Joe Lopez, a motor transport operator with Logistics Combat Element, Marine Rotational Force - Darwin prepares for a convoy at Robertson Barracks, NT, Australia, July 9, 2020. The motor transport operators participated in terrain familiarization, day and night time convoy training, improvised explosive device detection, tactical combat casualty care, and radio communications skills. This training helps keep MRF-D postured to respond to regional crises, from humanitarian aid to offensive operations.
"This is my first time being out of the country, and everything is different. Here in Australia, we have more room to train. This opportunity allows us to learn how to drive on new terrains, and how each vehicle handles the differing terrain."
