    A young U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform is working on a steering wheel assembly in what appears to be a military vehicle maintenance bay. The name tape 'BEMIS' and 'U.S. MARINES' tape are clearly visible on his uniform. The setting is an indoor motor pool or maintenance facility with multiple military vehicles visible in the background.

    Cpl. Aiden Bemis, a digital manufacturing engineer with 1st Supply Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, I Marine Expeditionary Force, measures the width of a steering wheel column at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, April 29, 2021. Bemis provided the capability to mass produce a steering wheel remover tool that prevents damage to the steering wheel column during removal. The tool was originally designed by Staff Sgt. Kyle Owens, a motor transportation chief with Combat Logistics Battalion 5, 1st MLG. In 2012, after cracking multiple steering wheel columns using a slide hammer kit, he came up with the idea to drill three holes into a standard washer and weld a nut so that he could effectively remove a steering wheel from the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacements (MTVR) and Logistics Vehicle System Replacements (LVSR).
