Staff Sgt. Jacob Faulkner, a Marine with 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division describes what it takes to become a reconnaissance Marine during free-fall parachute training at Ie Shima, Okinawa, Japan, April 15, 2019. Reconnaissance Marines specialize in amphibious reconnaissance, ground reconnaissance, surveillance, battlespace shaping and raids in support of Marine Divisions.
