    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jacob O’Toole, a native of Morrisonville, Ill., and an intelligence specialist with 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division (2d MARDIV), flies an R-80D SkyRaider drone during Exercise Rolling Thunder 21.2 on Fort Bragg, N.C, April 20, 2021. This is a live-fire artillery exercise where 10th Marines employed distributed fires via simulated Expeditionary Advanced Bases (EAB’s). The training increased 2d MARDIV’s combat readiness against a peer competitor. Small unmanned aerial systems provide increased situational awareness and act as a sensor for expediting decision making. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc.Sarah Pysher)
