    Lance Cpl. Christopher L. Kusierz, a machine gunner with Weapons Company, Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, sets up an M19 Automatic Grenade Launcher during opening day of exercise Talisman Sabre 2011. During the event thousands of Australian citizens gathered in the Rockhampton Fairgrounds to view static displays of weapons and equipment set up by Marines and Australian Defence Forces. This exercise is a major undertaking which reflects the closeness of the Australian and U.S. alliance and the strength of the military-military relationship. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and remains the nations force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region. (Photo by: Lance Cpl. Garry J. Welch)
