U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Devin J. Taylor, a motor vehicle operator with Transportation Services Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 8, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2d Marine Logistics Group, poses for a photo on Camp Lejeune, N.C., December 16, 2020. “A man’s true character will show when faced with adversity,” said Taylor, a Los Angeles, California, native. According to his leadership, Taylor has been a vital asset throughout the duration of Integrated Warfighting Exercise/MAGTF Warfighting Exercise 1-21. Due to LCpl. Taylor’s technical expertise and uncompromising work ethic, units across the AO were able to be supplied with 23,142 lbs. of ammunition in order to conduct training for the duration of the 45 day exercise. Concurrently, LCpl. Taylor did not hesitate to assist and improve his platoon’s tactical performance by conducting IA drills, machine gun drills, and route planning. LCpl. Taylor is always at the forefront of any challenge by navigating recovery missions and taking over as convoy commander while his platoon commander was called to lead some different tasks during convoy operations. LCpl. Taylor’s dependability, reliability, and positive influence makes him highly deserving of Motivator of the Week.
