    II Marine Expeditionary Force   

    Marines with Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, take cover on the edge of a wooded area before moving down range to occupy an enemy machine-gun nest as part of a live-fire training exercise at Shooting Range 6, Feb. 11, 2013. The battalion is training for a scheduled deployment to Okinawa in June. Although the focus of the deployment will be jungle warfare training the Marines must still be prepared for anything. “We are a force in readiness,” said Sgt. Joshua Washington, a squad leader with 2nd platoon, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. “Although we are training to prepare for our deployment to Okinawa, we still need to be ready to go anywhere in the world.”
