    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Nicholas Cruz, left, a data systems administrator, with III Marine Expeditionary Force, grapples with Cpl. Luis Sanchezmateo, a supply chain and material management specialist, with Headquarters Battalion, 3d Marine Division, during a Martial Arts Instructor Course culminating event on Camp Courtney, Okinawa, Japan, July 25, 2024. The MAIC is designed to develop the individual Marine’s understanding of combative techniques while enduring both mental and physical stressors in order to establish a warrior's ethos. Marines graduating the course become certified instructors and are able to teach Marine Corps Martial Arts Program techniques to their individual units across the Marine Corps. Cruz is a native of New York and Sanchezmateo is a native of the Dominican Republic. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Jeffrey Pruett)
