U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Connor Fox, a surveillance sensor operator with 3d Intelligence Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, posts security during a land navigation course at Jungle Warfare Training Center, Camp Gonsalves, Okinawa, Japan, March 23. The land navigation was conducted as part of an overall Jungle Field Exercise conducted on March 21-25.

During the FEX, III MIG Marines practiced their ability to conduct distributed operations in an austere environment. JWTC provides challenging terrain that is found on many of the islands in the Indo-Pacific.

Mastery of this terrain contributes to III MIG’s ability to employ multiple modes of low-signature maneuver in a jungle environment; as well as developing and deploying distributed, lethal, networked and persistent capabilities to process and close kill chains.
