    Roger Habich, left, director of vehicle operations, Overland AI, speaks to French Maj. Fabien Catallo, French exchange officer for 2nd Marine Division, on Range 800 during Service Level Training Exercise (SLTE) 4-26 at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, Aug 8, 2026.   French Marines worked alongside 2nd Marine Division and Overland AI to test the capabilities of the Overland ULTRA; a revolutionary autonomous, uncrewed ground vehicle built for the battlefield and designed to operate beyond line of site in contested environments. SLTE 4-26 is designed to be a challenging, realistic training environment that produces combat-ready forces capable of operating as an integrated Marine Air-Ground Task Force across all domains of military operations.
