Lance Cpl. Michael Cuneo, a rifleman with India Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, uses a directional pad to control an RQ-11B Raven unmanned aircraft system during UAS flight operations at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, Hawaii, July 12, 2011. Though Cuneo specializes as a rifleman, his grip has temporarily transferred from his rifle to the controls of the Raven. During 3/3's upcoming fall deployment to Afghanistan, Cuneo, from Newcastle, Calif., will fulfill duties as a company-level intelligence cell Marine for India Company. "Gathering intelligence makes an impact on a daily basis," Cuneo said. "If I can gather intelligence for my squad and send it up to higher, I can make an impact at a larger level than just in my squad's area of operation."
