U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Keaun Smith, a mortarman with 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, 1st Marine Division, takes notes during pre-environmental training classes as part of Mountain Training Exercise 1-26 at Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, California, Jan. 13, 2026. PET classes are designed to prepare Marines for missions in cold, high-altitude, mountainous environments and include instruction on topics such as mobility training, living at high elevations, and conducting strenuous hikes in snow. Exercises like MTX 1-26 prove Marines’ ability to provide flexible and responsive combat service support during high intensity combat operations in contested and mountainous terrain. Smith is a native of New Jersey. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Isabella Ramos)
