Lance Cpl. Palmer L. Perkins posts perimeter security for a stand-to drill August 24 at Bradshaw Field Training Area, Northern Territory, Australia, during Exercise Koolendong 14. The focus of KD-14 is to establish a bilateral expeditionary command and control element in austere conditions, directing all maneuver elements in execution of the exercise. KD-14 consisted of maneuver exercises executed bilaterally with members of the Australian Army’s 1st Brigade and U.S. Marine’s 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment involving infantry, tanks, artillery and engineers. The Marines are currently attached to 4th Marine Regiment and are deployed in part of Marine Rotational Force-Darwin. The rotational deployment of U.S. Marines affords an unprecedented combined training opportunity with their Australian allies, and improves interoperability between the two forces. Perkins, a Holly Springs, North Carolina native, is a maintenance management specialist with the battalion. (Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Joey S. Holeman, Jr./ Released)
