THIS WEEK WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS AND PHOTOS OF MARINES WITH THE 31ST MARINE EXPEDITIONARY UNIT EXECUTING A VISIT, BOARD, SEARCH AND SEIZURE.
FROM THE COMMANDANT REGARDING THE 250TH MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY IN 2025: MARINES ARE INVITED TO REFLECT, CELEBRATE AND CARRY FORWARD THE TORCH FOR ALL MARINES TO FOLLOW. WE WILL CELEBRATE WITH VARIOUS GLOBAL COMMUNITY RELATIONS EVENTS AND SEVERAL MARINE WEEKS IN MAJOR CITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. FOR MORE INFORMATION, REFER TO ALMAR 034/24 ON MARINES.MIL.
OUR PHOTOS OF THE WEEK WERE TAKEN BY LANCE CPL. RAUL SOTOVILLA, SHOWING MARINES WITH THE 31ST MEUS FORCE RECONNAISSANCE PLATOON CARRYING OUT A VBSS EXERCISE NEAR OKINAWA, JAPAN.
DURING THIS EXERCISE THEY USED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARPEN THEIR SKILLS BY BOARDING A SHIP UTILIZING A SMALL BOAT. THE GOAL OF THIS EXERCISE IS TO CAPTURE ENEMY VESSELS TO COMBAT TERRORISM, PIRACY AND SMUGGLING.
