U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Andrei B. Greenfield, left, breaks down a weapon with Philippine Marine Sgt. Rolly R. Cariaga, right, an AAV gunner with Assault Armor Battalion, aboard Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan, on July 18, 2017. The Philippine Marine Corps recently purchased AAVS and are working with U.S. Marines to learn different amphibious procedures – such as hand signaling, egress training, and water operations. This is the first time the Philippine military has trained on an American base. Greenfield, a Cohasset, Massachusetts native is an Amphibious Assault Vehicle crewman with Combat Assault Battalion, 3rd Marine Division. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Jordan A. Talley)
