U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Brennan Pedraza, a machine gunner with 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division assigned to Black Sea Rotational Force 14.2, engages a target downrange with a .50 caliber machine gun mounted on a Latvian Humvee during a live-fire exercise involving U.S., Latvian and Estonian service members during Exercise Summer Shield at a range near Camp Adazi, Latvia, April 15, 2014. Senators John McCain (R-AZ), John Hoeven (R-ND) and John Barrasso (R-WY) visited the service members during the exercise to get a first-hand look at the international training taking place between the nations. This is the 11th iteration of the Summer Shield exercise, a joint staff planning live-fire maneuver event designed to enhance the NATO force’s capacity and capability to integrate combined arms and maneuver at the battalion and brigade level. It also increases partner capacity, promotes regional stability, and enhances Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, and U.S. interoperability as NATO allies. (Official Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
