U.S. Marines with the command element, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and U.S. Navy sailors with Tactical Air Control Squadron 12, gather maritime surveillance data during a sensor expeditionary advance base operation, for Iron Fist 24, on Kin Blue, Okinawa, Japan, March 11, 2024. The forward posture and continual training of the 31st MEU allows for expeditionary advance bases establishment at any time and place, adding to the complexity and sustainability of our actions in a future fight. Iron Fist is an annual bilateral exercise designed to increase interoperability and strengthen the relationships between the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force, and the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force.
