Jacob Lovell, a gunner with 3rd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, Marine Air Control Group 38, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, attaches the gun barrel to an M2 .50 caliber machine during a convoy air-defense exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Aug. 25, 2015. The exercise gave the Marines the opportunity to work with a simulated enemy aircraft, an AH-1Z Cobra helicopter provided by Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd MAW. Realistic training allows Marines to remain effective in increasingly complex environments around the world
