Lance Cpl. Thomas W. Courtney, team leader, 2nd Platoon, Kilo Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, pushes out his final repetition during the Bench Press Competition in the gym of the USS Peleliu, Dec. 29. The challenge was the seventh competition in the Campbell Cup, a bi-monthly challenge that pits teams within the 15th MEU and Peleliu Amphibious Ready Group against each other. The goal was for teams of up five Marines or sailors to do as many bench presses as possible per team member. The 15th MEU is deployed as part of the Peleliu ARG as a U.S. Central Command theater reserve force, providing support for maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility. Courtney, 22, is from Wilmington, Ill. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. John Robbart III)
