    Marines and sailors with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, paddle through the water during the annual Henoko dragon boat races at Matsuda-No-Hama Beach June 2. The races are a revered tradition on Okinawa, and was once limited to Henoko community members. Since 1973, the honor to participate has been extended to service members, according to Fumio Iha, the liaison and community relations specialist for Camp Schwab. The Marines and sailors are with 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, currently assigned to 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, under the unit deployment program.
