Marines with Intermediate Repair Company, 3rd Maintenance Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, participated in Resilient Advanced Manufacturing for Contested Environments, or RAMFORCE, an initiative hosted by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. The innovative event brought together military personnel, government laboratories, and private industry to evaluate how advanced manufacturing technologies could enable expeditionary forces to repair, replace and even produce critical equipment at the point of need.
