U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. James Buskey an Infantry Marine with Battalion Landing Team 1/4, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, is positioned for an assault on a model town during a platoon reinforcement exercise on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, August 1, 2024. The M240B is a main stronghold of support during assaults, utilized as a fire superiority tool due to its ability to sustain fire for an extended amount of time with its high ammunition capacity and larger caliber rounds. 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.
