Military working dogs with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit walk alongside their handlers during a 10 kilometer hike at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 4, 2019. The hike helped the Marines and Sailors of the 31st MEU build endurance and unit camaraderie. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
