U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. David Zamudio holds his M16A4 service rifle at the ready at Jungle Warfare Training Center, Okinawa, Japan, Oct. 27, 2019. During their communication exercise, Marines with 7th Communication Battalion demonstrate their ability to establish and maintain communications in any environment, including the jungle. Zamudio, a native of Miami, Flor., is a basic electrician with Alpha Company, 7th Comm. Bn. "A lot of people tell you to stay motivated. To me, it's about drive. When it's pissing rain, and I'm tired, and I'm not feeling motivated, drive is the force that compels me to keep moving forward." Part of the training focused on the unit’s ability to deploy small fire teams in support of long-range rapid deployments where the Marine Corps will need to establish austere bases.
