Cpl. Michael B. Wheeler, from Buffalo, New York, applies camouflage paint on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, while preparing for a regimental air assault during Blue Chromite 2016, Oct. 31, 2015.
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. Wheeler is a machine gunner with 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II MEF, currently under the command of 4th Marines, 3rd MarDiv, III MEF. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
