    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jose-Eduardo Vasquez waits to enter the Light Armoured Vehicle to conduct a dry fire range in Hokudaien, Japan in support of Northern Viper. Northern Viper is a combined-joint exercise held to enhance regional cooperation between participating nations to collectively deter security threats.
    "Having the opportunity to train with foreign allies is what swayed my decision into enlisting with infantry, so finally getting the opportunity to fulfill that is definitely rewarding."
