    Military personnel in full combat gear are firing rifles from what appears to be a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) on open water. At least three armed individuals are visible, with one actively firing an assault rifle as evidenced by a visible ejected brass casing mid-air. The personnel are wearing desert camouflage uniforms and tactical vests consistent with U.S. Marine Corps equipment.

    2nd Marine Division

    U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Reed Bunyard, a reconnaissance Marine with C Company, 2d Reconnaissance Battalion (Recon Bn.), 2d Marine Division (MARDIV), fires at targets during a live fire event with Netherlands Marines from the 32nd Raiding Squadron near Netherlands Marine Barracks Savaneta, Aruba, Nov. 23, 2020. These skills are critical when fighting in littoral and coastal regions. 2d Recon Bn's mastery of these skills is paramount so they can integrate effectively with their naval counterparts to win the next major conflict. Being able to learn from the Dutch Marines in their primary area of operation helps 2d Recon Bn. build a faster, more mobile, and more lethal force when operating in diverse locations.
