U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Andrew Lopez, an aviation ordnance man, with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 (Rein.), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, loads inert 2.75-inch rockets into an AH-1Z Viper assigned to VMM-265 (Rein.) during a forward arming and refueling point exercise at Glen Airfield, Queensland, Australia, July 7, 2025. Marines loaded ordnance rapidly and tactically to exercise arming aircraft in a high-pressure environment, such as a FARP and sustain technical and tactical proficiency. The 31st MEU is operating aboard the 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. Lopez is a native of California. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Victor Gurrola)
