James Riley, right, both infantry Marines with Battalion Landing Team 1/1, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, tie a simulated casualty onto a sked during a tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel exercise at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 16, 2024. The sked is a lightweight foldable stretcher that allows fast and efficient extraction of casualties from isolated locations. The 31st MEU is operating aboard ships of the USS America Amphibious Ready Group in the 7th Fleet area of operations, the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region. Yellot is native of Houston, Texas, and Riley is a native of New Jersey. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Juan K. Maldonado)
