Sgt. Edgar Alvarez, a scout sniper with Battalion Landing Team 1/5, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit gathers necessary gear for a two-day area reconnaissance mission at the Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 11, 2022. Scout snipers play an integral part in the Stand in Force Concept operating as the eyes and ears of the ground force commander, allowing for a more efficient decision making process. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps' only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premiere crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
