U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Johnathan C. Weber, the commanding officer of Fox Company, Battalion Landing Team 2/4, 31st Marine Expeditonary Unit, communicates with his team over radio during a simulated boat raid part of small boat sustainment training at Kin Blue Training Area, Okinawa, Japan on Dec. 11, 2024. This training was conducted for the first time in the Indo-Pacific region in order to introduce the Marines to the newly fielded enhanced combat rubber reconnaissance craft and increase their proficiecy for upcoming boat raids. The E-CRRC has an increased load carrying capacity as well as improved ride quality, speed, stability and seakeeping in heavy seas over the legacy CRRC. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premiere crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region. Weber is a native of Nebraska. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Angel Diaz Montes De Oca)
