U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Thomas Pelham rides in the back of an assault amphibious vehicle with Philippine Marines as the vehicle is driven through the ocean during an AAV subject matter expert exchange in Subic Bay, Philippines, Sept. 1, 2019. The U.S. Marine Corps has partnered with the Philippine Marine Corps for the last eight years to develop skill sets and policies to enable the Philippine Navy and Marine Corps to conduct amphibious operations. This SMEE was a milestone in these efforts, marking the first time that Philippine forces launched their AAVs from a Philippine Navy amphibious ship and transited from ship to shore. Pelham is a mechanic assigned to AAV Company, 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, and is a native of Reno, Nev. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Jacob Hancock)
