Cpl. Cole G. White, top center, gives orders to his Marines to assemble a five-bay, two-story, medium girder bridge during Blue Chromite 16 at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 30, 2015. According to White, the 9th ESB bridge master, this bridge will be the first five-bay bridge to ever be lifted on Okinawa, and the second in Marine Corps history. Blue Chromite is a large-scale amphibious exercise that draws primarily from III Marine Expeditionary Force’s training resources on Okinawa. The location of the training allows participating units to maintain a forward-deployed posture and eliminates the cost of traveling to train. White, is from Saint Mary’s, Virginia, is with 9th Engineer Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III MEF.
