U.S. Marine Cpl. Andrew Wilson, a squad leader with Battalion Landing Team 1st Bn., 4th Marines, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), jumps into a bunker to find cover during a squad assault rehearsal as part of Exercise Alligator Dagger at Arta Beach, Djibouti, Dec. 18, 2016. During the drills, the Marines were met with scenarios that they adapted to as a team, including assaulting the objective when they were receiving little to no simulated enemy fire, and taking cover or maintaining the suppressive fire on the enemy when they were met with effective sporadic fire. The unilateral exercise provides an opportunity for the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group and 11th MEU to train in amphibious operations within the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations. The 11th MEU is currently supporting U.S. 5th Fleet’s mission to promote and maintain stability and security in the region. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Devan K. Gowans)
