Explosive Ordinance Disposal personnel with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, practice using a Talon Robot here, July 22. The Talon Robot is used to disarm explosive ordnance from a distance, allowing Marines to maintain a safe distance from a potential blast. The 31st MEU is the Marine Corps’ force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region and is the only continuously forward deployed MEU. (Marine Corps photo by LCpl Tyler Dietrich)
