POTD: U.S. Marines With M16A4 and M249
Photo Of The Day where we see (above) U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Gregory Garza, a combat engineer with Company B, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, as he posts security during loading into the objective rally point and defense training in preparation for Korean Marine Exchange Program 24.2 on Camp Mujuk, South Korea, July 2024.
The Korean Marine Exchange Program (KMEP) is a recurring multinational exercise aimed at enhancing the combat readiness of U.S. and Korean forces. This exercise emphasizes the integration of aviation and ground assets within a traditional Combined Arms Live Fire Exercise framework. KMEP also helps U.S. Marines become familiar with the Korean Peninsula and strengthens the already robust relationship between the Republic of Korea and U.S. Marines.

“KMEP is a bilateral training exercise that increases interoperability and strengthens the combined capabilities of Republic of Korea and U.S. Marines.”
