Sgt. Charles Fernandez, an assault amphibious vehicle crewman with Headquarters and Services Company 3rd Assault Amphibious Battalion, explains the steps of vehicle recovery to Sgt. Tadanao Fujimori, an AAV operator with the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force, during Exercise Iron First 2017 aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Feb. 13. The U.S. Marines taught the Japanese soldiers not only how to operate the AAVs but also AAV techniques and tactics. Iron Fist is an annual, bilateral training exercise where U.S. and Japanese service members train together and share techniques, tactics and procedure to improve their combined operational capabilities.
