Australian Army soldiers and U.S. Marine Corps Sgt.

Australian Army soldiers and U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Heather Redenius with Combat Logistics Detachment 1, Lance Cpl. Colton Taylor and Cpl. Ryan Reppond with Company B, 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin, compete in a squad competition August 26 during Exercise Crocodile Strike at the Mount Bundey Training Area, Northern Territory, Australia. Marines with MRF-D participated in bilateral training with the Australian Defence Force for two weeks, including dry and live-fire exercises with air and ground combat elements. The six-month rotational deployment of U.S. Marines affords an unprecedented combined training opportunity with our Australian allies and improves interoperability between our forces.
