U.S. Marines with Combat Logistics Company Alpha, Combat Logistics Battalion 13, Combat Logistics Regiment 17, prepare to launch a Skydio X2D drone during small, unmanned aircraft system operations as part of a company field exercise on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, May 27, 2026. During a realistic scenario, Marines gained insight into the capabilities of three unmanned systems while also practicing signature management to conceal themselves from adversarial drone operators. The company field exercise tested and refined the company’s tactics and standard operating procedures while roleplaying in an austere environment. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Gunnery Sgt.
