 Marines and sailors of Company A, battalion landing team first battalion fourth Marines, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, executing assault on an Okinawan beach using combat rubber raiding craft. Their objectives are to take and secure the beach, move inland to secure an objective, and eliminate enemy role players. Training in a realistic environment against a live enemy helps the force identify and eliminate mistakes. That's why, you know, we train constantly because there's always things you can fix, always things you need to work. You fix one thing that you messed up on the last time you trained and something else pops up. The raid was part of a pre-deployment training package, preparing the company for regional security operations in the Asia Pacific. Marine Sergeant Paul Robbins Jr. Okinawa, Japan.
