U.S. Marines with 4th Marine Regiment, 3d Marine Division operate untethered small unmanned aircraft systems and rehearse experimental casualty evacuation drills using Rheinmetall Mission Master Silent Partners on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, Japan, Aug. 21, 2025. The drone course, which certifies Marines to fly sUAS, was the first time untethered drones were operated over a military installation on Okinawa under the Secretary of Defense's new guidance, which seeks to expand the use of small, American-made drones to enhance military capabilities. The Mission Master drones are autonomous, uncrewed ground vehicles used to assist with tactical transport, resupply, and casualty evacuation, engineered to provide assistance and reduce danger to dismounted troops across a wide range of missions, including high-risk situations.(U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
