    A person wearing U.S. Marine Corps digital camouflage (MARPAT) uniform is kneeling on ground covered with clover and low vegetation. Their hands are manipulating a small dark metallic object partially embedded in the ground. The context suggests a field training exercise, possibly involving simulated IED detection, mine clearing, or booby trap training.

    3d Marine Division     

    U.S. Marine Cpl. Jacob Worshan ties a cord to a stake during a long distance, high-frequency communications training event held on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 14, 2020. This training between 1st and 3rd Marine Division allows both units to train in HF communications over the Pacific ocean. The training helps the units maintain a low electromagnetic signature that is virtually impervious to meaconing, jamming, and interference, which allows for distributed operations without detection in the operating environment. Davis, a native of Pensacola, Fla., is a radio operator currently under 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division. Worshan, a native of Calhoun, Ga., is a radio operator currently under 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Christian Ayers)
