U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Andrew Carranza prepares to strap and tow a Humvee struck by a simulated improvised explosive device during a mounted patrol training exercise at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, March 15, 2018. As a part of Exercise Bougainville I, the Marines worked as a combined anti-armor team and reacted to simulated IEDs and ambushes. Exercise Bougainville I is used to train Marines to fight at the small-unit level and build their proficiency for future deployments. Carranza, a native of Potsdam, New York, is with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 3d Marine Regiment. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Eric Tso)
