U.S. Marines with 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance

U.S. Marines with 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion prepare their LAV-25 Light Armored Vehicle for convoy during Strategic Mobility Exercise 17 (STRATMOBEX) near Stjørdal, Norway, May 3, 2017. Marines readied the vehicles for convoy, simultaneously meeting the Marine Corp Prepositioning in Norway (MCPP-N) annual movement requirement. The forward prepositioning of materiel from MCPP-N reduces reaction time and eliminates the need to deploy equipment from locations in the continental United States.
