U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jiza Ortiz, a radio operator with Marine Rotational Force – Darwin 26, speaks to a local child before the opening ceremony at the Tiwi Cultural Festival on Tiwi Island, Australia, July 18, 2026. Marines and Sailors participate in the annual cultural festival yearly after the Mantiyupwi people of Tiwi Island ceremonially adopted MRF-D after the loss of three Marines in an aircraft crash on Tiwi Island in 2023. MRF-D is a six-month forward deployment in Australia that strengthens combined interoperability with the Australian Defence Force and provides rapid crisis-response options for the joint force across the Indo-Pacific. Ortiz is a native of Ohio. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Grant Schirmer)
