U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Sidney A. Sotelomadera, an infantry Marine with Charlie Company, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, provides overwatch security with an M4 carbine during a simulated force-on-force mechanized raid at Combat Town, Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, April 24, 2025. The purpose of the exercise was to create a challenging, realistic training environment with the integration of the newly fielded Amphibious Combat Vehicle that produces combat-ready forces in urban terrain. 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. Sotelomadera is a native Texas. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Angel Diaz Montes De Oca)
