    Two individuals wearing US Marine Corps MARPAT digital camouflage uniforms are closely examining and working on a small electronic circuit board on a wooden surface. One individual is wearing glasses and both are using tools, appearing to be soldering or assembling electronics. In the background, what appears to be a small drone or similar device is visible on the table.

Timothy Crocker, both natives of Virginia and infantry riflemen with 3d Intelligence Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, solder wires to a SpeedyBee flight controller during a Basic Drone Operator Course on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Sept. 2, 2026. The course provides Marines with hands-on instruction in the assembly, maintenance and operation of small unmanned aircraft systems to enhance III MIG’s expeditionary capabilities and operational readiness.

    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are engaged in a hands-on technical training session in a classroom environment. Participants are working at wooden workbenches with various electronic components and tools. A projected presentation displaying what appears to be a wiring diagram is visible on the screen at the front of the room.
    Military personnel in MARPAT (Marine pattern) camouflage uniforms are working at a workbench in what appears to be a technical workshop or lab environment. The individuals appear to be assembling or maintaining small drone/UAV components and electronic equipment. Multiple service members are visible, with some working at computers in the background.
    The image shows a partially assembled FPV (First Person View) racing drone frame resting on a wooden surface. A flight controller board is mounted at the center of the carbon fiber frame, with multiple colored wires routed along the arms. A brushless motor is partially visible on the right arm of the frame.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are seated at a long table in what appears to be a briefing room or classroom setting. The individuals are engaged in what looks like a training session, review, or planning meeting. The image uses a shallow depth of field, with foreground figures blurred and focus on mid-ground subjects.
    A group of U.S. Marines in woodland MARPAT camouflage uniforms are gathered around a table in what appears to be an indoor briefing or meeting room. One Marine facing the camera appears to be speaking or explaining something to the others. The setting suggests a planning session, briefing, or informal discussion.
    A person is soldering wires onto a small printed circuit board (PCB) placed on a wooden workbench. The PCB features yellow corner standoffs and a central microcontroller chip, consistent with a flight controller or similar embedded electronics module. The work appears to be hands-on electronics assembly or repair.
    Two individuals wearing US Marine Corps MARPAT digital camouflage uniforms are closely examining and working on a small electronic circuit board on a wooden surface. One individual is wearing glasses and both are using tools, appearing to be soldering or assembling electronics. In the background, what appears to be a small drone or similar device is visible on the table.
    A young person wearing military-style camouflage clothing is holding a VR or FPV headset up to their eyes with both hands. The setting appears to be an indoor classroom or training environment with fluorescent lighting. Electronic components or a controller are visible on the table in front of them.
    A person in military camouflage uniform is operating what appears to be a drone or simulation controller while viewing a 3D virtual environment on an HP laptop. The screen displays a first-person or aerial perspective of a rural scene featuring a red barn, open fields, and trees, consistent with military simulation or drone training software. Papers and cables are visible on the wooden desk alongside the laptop.
