Lance Cpls. Jonathan P. Delgado, right, and Derek K. Cornelius execute tactical reloads while sightless Sept. 11 on the well deck of the USNS Sacagawea. By eliminating sight with the use of covered goggles, the Marines built muscle memory and increased confidence in their abilities to reload an M16A4 service rifle under duress. The training is part of exercise T-AKE 14-2, a maritime pre-positioned force, multi-country theater security cooperation event that deploys from Okinawa aboard the USNS Sacagawea to conduct training exercises throughout the Asia-Pacific area of operations. Delgado is from Boynton Beach, Florida, and is a digital multi-channel wideband transmission equipment operator assigned to the Provisional Rifle Platoon with Combat Logistics Detachment 379, Combat Logistics Regiment 37, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Cornelius is from La Junta, Colorado, and is a technical controller Marine assigned to the PRP with the detachment.
