A U.S. Marine with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, reloads a GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun aboard a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey during flight operations as a part of Talisman Sabre 25, in the Coral Sea, July 18, 2025. Marines conducted an aerial live-fire event to maintain crew-served weapons proficiency and defensive capabilities while in flight. Talisman Sabre is the largest bilateral military exercise between Australia and the United States advancing a free and open Indo-Pacific by strengthening relationships and interoperability among key allies and partners, while enhancing our collective capabilities to respond to a wide array of potential security concerns.
