U.S. Marines with I Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, pose for a group photo in front of the General Sherman Tree at Sequoia National Forest during a leadership retreat by Kaweah Lake, California, May 26, 2021. The three-day retreat in the Sequoia National Forest focused on connectedness and personal growth to increase individual and unit resilience. It provided participants with the tools and resources to shape their units' training programs, build character and equip their peers and subordinates with greater life resiliency skills. The interconnectedness of the roots of the Sequoia trees is a metaphor for the network of Marines and sailors that rely on each other through every rank and life situation. The trees are also a metaphor for unit Esprit-de-Corps that expands across a much larger national network. This inaugural retreat set the foundation for future, similar events that will include conditioning events, lectures, guided discussions and guest speakers. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl.

Lance Cpl. Faustino J. Camilo prepares to load a M231 primer into the M777 Howitzer cannon during a battery-level fire exercise at Camp Pendleton, Calif., Feb. 10, 2016. The battery participated in a fire exercise in preparation for their upcoming deployment with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. This exercise was the first time the battery used the Digital Firing Control System, a computer that shows grid coordinates of targets and accompanying information. This system is important because it provides a faster response time than using iron sights to fire the howitzer. Camilo, from Brunswick, Ga., is an artillery cannoneer with Battery F, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Justin E. Bowles) - Lance Cpl.
