An RQ-11 Raven Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, from 2nd Tank Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, lays on the observation tower during a training exercise with M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks, Oct. 15, 2013. "The Ravens give you a good birds-eye view, they receive reconnaissance that can be too far out to see," said Cpl. Peter J. Richter, a Raven operator with Scouts, 2nd Tanks, and Native of Dexter, Mich. "They also are very good for locating and navigating bad terrain such as swamps." 2nd Tanks conducts training with UAVs 131015-M-BW898-001
