Cpl. Kaleb Smith, a motor transportation mechanic with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, tightens the throttle on a Humvee at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 26, 2019. “It’s a tough job. You go home and take a shower, and all the grime falls off, but it’s worth it. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” said Smith, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee. Smith graduated from Sarasota High School in Florida in May 2014 before enlisting in February 2015. Motor transportation mechanics with CLB-31 work tirelessly to keep their battalion on the road – grease, oil, dirt, tires, wrenches, these are the tools of “Motor-T,” the unsung heroes of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
