Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and sailors assigned to the USS Green Bay (LPD-20), man the rails while entering Fremantle, Western Australia, June 25, 2015. Manning the rails is a custom evolved from the centuries old practice "manning the yards." Navy ships often man the rails when entering a port, or when returning to the ship's homeport at the end of a deployment. ( Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Brian Bekkala/Released.)
