    A young military service member in blue coveralls is working on a large tire, using a socket wrench or similar tool to tighten or loosen lug nuts on a wheel rim. The setting appears to be an outdoor military motor pool or maintenance area, with a military HMMWV (Humvee) visible in the background. The image is taken from a low angle, giving a dramatic perspective of the maintenance work being performed.

    Lance Cpl. Parker W. Drake, a radio operator for Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and a native of Ackley, Iowa, removes lug nuts from a tire during a "Maintenance Stand-down" here, Oct. 17. The initiative occurs before and after every 31st MEU deployment, ensuring every vehicle and piece of equipment is inspected and repaired in preparation for the next patrol or mission. The 31st MEU is the Marine Corps' force in readiness for the Asia-Pacific region and is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU.
