    At sunset on Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Fernando Luna Simental dons his personal protective equipment (PPE) to begin screening incoming personnel in response to the increased threat of COVID-19. Luna Simental is attached to the Security Augmentation Force, a unit that is mobilized to provide additional support to the installation. Luna Simental is tasked with screening entrants for symptoms of COVID-19. “It feels like I’m just doing my duty, we’re the first ones to maintain order,” states Luna Simental, “If someone has a fever, it is our job to direct them to the proper resources because if we don’t do that, then we fail as a whole and other people could be in danger.” Base entry screenings are just one of the ways Marine Corps Installations Pacific is working to combat COVID-19 and to keep its personnel and their families safe.
