During the visit, Gen. Neller spoke about his latest message to the force titled “Execute," and answered questions from deployed service members.

Also in the Corps,
Marines with 3rd Battalion, 12 Marine Regiment conducted a dry-fire exercise on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, June 27th. The Marines rehearsed deployment and employment of their organic weapon systems in an expeditionary environment. The Regiment is the only continuously forward-deployed Marine artillery regiment in the Indo-Pacific region.
