Slone, a water support technician with Engineer Support Company, 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, Marine Forces Reserve, washes clothing using a containerized laundry unit at Innovative Readiness Training Old Harbor, Alaska, July 11, 2016. The training brought the Marines back to their expeditionary roots and required them to setup electricity, water and other resources to survive in the remote Alaskan environment.
