U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Cooper Milbradt, a water support technician with Combat Logistics Battalion 24, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, primes water pipes with unfiltered water during exercise Aurora 26 in Kvarn, Sweden, April 26, 2026. Marines use portable, rugged, and energy‑efficient water purification systems to provide safe drinking water in austere or combat environments. U.S. Marines and Sailors with 2nd MLG are participating in exercise Aurora as part of the larger U.S. Army-led Sword 26 series of linked multinational exercises, which directly supports NATO's Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative concept, validates defense plans, builds a unified lethal force, and strengthens deterrence. Milbradt is a native of Minnesota. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Talan Werner)
