Marines with 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines play basketball

Marines with 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines play basketball during the "Gunsmoke Challenge". The “Gunsmoke Challenge” allowed the Marines of 2/1 to build camaraderie and celebrate the end of a successful deployment. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
