Lance Cpl. Brandon T. Pickens watches as a container is unloaded from the USNS Sacagawea, a maritime prepositioning force ship, Feb. 26 at Gwangyang port, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea during Exercise Freedom Banner 2014. MPF ships are used by the U.S. Marine Corps to sea-base equipment in preparation for contingencies and crises, and to transport cargo and equipment for exercises and operations around the world. Pickens is a landing support specialist with CLR-35, 3rd Marine Logistics Groups, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Freedom Banner projects U.S. military power and exercises maritime prepositioning force ship offloading capabilities similar to what would occur during a wartime or disaster relief scenario. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for Marines to strengthen relationships between the Republic of Korea and U.S.
