Thomas, a boy from the Farmville, Va., area, looks down the barrel of a
M-240 Medium Machine Gun that was mounted on a UH-1 Huey helicopter as
part of a static display during the Marine Corps Community Day at
Farmville Municipal Airport Jan. 14, 2012.
The 24th MEU organized
the event as part of their Realistic Urban Training exercise (RUT) to
thank the community and highlight the capabilities of the Marine Air
Ground Task Force.
The RUT exercise is scheduled from Jan. 5-20,
and is meant to allow the Marines to conduct off-base training near the
town of Farmville to prepare for their upcoming deployment.
