U.S. Marines with Echo Company, Battalion Landing Team 2/4, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers with the 1st Amphibious Rapid Deployment Regiment, conduct a bilateral live-fire short bay range at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 22, 2025. The training was conducted to test and evaluate marksmanship capabilities and to further strengthen relations with the JGSDF during Iron Fist 25. Iron Fist is an annual bilateral exercise designed to increase interoperability and strengthen the relationships between the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the JGSDF, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. 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.
