U.S. Marines with 3d Reconnaissance Battalion, 3d Marine Division, conduct a free-fall operation at Ie Shima, Okinawa including armed patrols after parachuting.
And while the scenes are focused on the Marines, U.S. soldiers and airmen were also involved with the reconnaissance operations to prepare the battlespace for follow-on actions.
The training demonstrates the joint force’s ability to integrate command and control, expand battlefield awareness, and conduct long-range precision strikes as an enduring, stand-in-force.
