Jacklyn Dean, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, stands inside the cargo bay adjacent to the flight deck while underway aboard the amphibious USS Wasp (LHD-1), off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, Aug. 22, 2018. Dean, a native of Palm Beach, Florida, is one of only a handful of women EOD technicians across the Corps. She enlisted in June 2011 after graduating Park Vista High School the same year. CLB-31 is the Logistics Combat Element permanently assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit in Okinawa. Marines and Sailors with the 31st MEU, comprised of a Command Element, a Ground Combat Element, an Aviation Combat Element and a Logistics Combat Element, embarked aboard the U.S. Navy vessels of the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group and are currently underway. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations across the Indo-Pacific region.
