Kristopher Privitar, all with Special Operations Training Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force, watch CH-46E helicopters with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, take off from a training area in Guam during the MEU’s Certification Exercise. SOTG is conducting the CERTEX, a series of specialized training packages in the Marianas Islands designed by SOTG to bring the Marine Air Ground Task Force to a high state of readiness prior to patrolling the region. Due to its location, Guam offers the ability to host multilateral training on U.S. territory, providing a strategic advantage with developing or enhancing partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region and building multilateral capabilities.
