Lance Cpl. Scott Clark, a water purification specialist with Combat Logistics Battalion 24, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, takes notes on the test results of water purified from the Gulf of Aqaba using the Tactical Water Purification System at the Royal Jordanian Naval Base here, May 3, 2012, during Exercise Eager Lion 12. Water purification specialists test the water produced by the system every hour to ensure it is fit for human consumption. More than 1,000 Marines and Sailors from the 24th MEU are planned to participate in various events ashore throughout Jordan to maximize multi-lateral training opportunities and continue to build relationships with partners throughout the region. Eager Lion 12 is the second major exercise for the 24th MEU and Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group after deploying in March to serve as a forward-deployed crisis response force.
