The 31st MEU's Force Reconnaissance Platoon reload their weapons during a training exercise in the jungle.
For the 'green side' of Force Recon's mission, FRPs train extensively for deep reconnassance operations in a range of terrains and climates, including the jungle.
When on a reconnaissance task, a 6-man Force Recon Team will typically try to remain undetected but, if compromised, have the firepower and skills to fight their way out of trouble.
