U.S. Marines Corps Lance Cpl. Gavin Hester, a refrigeration and air conditioning technician, with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, conducts basic swim qualification at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, October 4, 2023. Basic swim qualification is designed to instill the self-confidence needed to overcome mental and physical adversity that could arise during actual combat water survival scenarios. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
