U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Matthew Pleitez, a UH-1Y Venom crew chief with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Group, inspects a GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun before taking off for a live-fire training exercise from Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton, California, March 2, 2023. This training evolution was designed to enhance lethality and further refine expeditionary advance base operation concepts to increase operational proficiency. Conducting realistic and relevant training ensures the Marine Corps’ largest aircraft wing remains operationally excellent, interoperable, and deployable on short notice. Pleitez is a Santa Clarita, California, native. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Cpl. Daniel Childs)
