Also in the Corps,
Marines and members of the Japan Self-Defense Force wrapped-up Exercise Northern Viper 2017 in Hokkaido, Japan, August 28th. Northern Viper is a joint-contingency exercise, which tested bilateral capabilities across a variety of areas supporting security in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Nicholas Duncan, Marine Gunner for 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, discussed the importance of the exercise:
"Allowing us an opportunity to build and continuing an extended relationship with the Japanese government and opening up some more maneuvering space for our Marines to get some great training. We're really hoping to continue driving a positive relationship."
