Corporal Spencer Roberson, an embarkation specialist with Combat Logistics Battalion 15, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group, relays information to his team members during an embarkation operation in support of a Defense Support of Civil Authorities training exercise aboard amphibious transport dock ship USS New Orleans (LPD-18) in Naval Base San Diego, Calif., June 19, 2014. During DSCA operations, the Navy-Marine Corps team can provide local authorities with timely support, allowing them to send aid to areas in the United States where the infrastructure might be damaged beyond the local authorities’ capabilities. “You never know who might need something and how urgently they need it,” said Roberson, of Raeford, N.C. “That’s why we’re here. We’re here to make sure the people in need have the resources necessary to survive.”
