Description
English: Cpl. Jonathon Smith, a native of Chattanooga, Tenn., an M1A1 Abrams Tank crewman with the tank platoon of Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, refuels an M1A1 Abrams Tank using the tactical bulk fuel delivery system May 9, 2012 to prepare for Exercise Eager Lion 12. The tactical bulk fuel delivery system is a large fuel bladder installed inside the hull of a CH-53 Super Stallion helicopter from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 (Reinforced), 24th MEU. This system increases the range and flexibility of tactical refueling on the ground in areas that are difficult to get fuel to by other means. During Eager Lion 12, the 24th MEU will participate in a variety of training exercises with partnered nations at different locations throughout the country to increase interoperability and learn about other countries’ militaries. Eager Lion 12 is a recurring, multinational exercise designed to strengthen military-to-military relationships through a joint, whole-of-government approach to future complex national security challenges. The 24th MEU, partnered with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group, is currently deployed to the Central Command area of operations as a theater-reserve and crisis-response force capable of a variety of missions from full-scale combat operations to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
