Marines with MAGTF-23 support Active Component vehicle maintenance

U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Jacob Cobb, an automotive maintenance technician assigned to Truck Company, 23rd Marine Regiment, poses for a portrait during Integrated Training Exercise 4-22 at Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., July 26, 2022. Johnson, from Prairieville, La., works as an exotic automotive technician as a civilian. “Nothing really shocks you. Going from working on Porsches, Lamborghinis, Audis, and McLarens, to coming here and working on diesel engines, it all ties in; if you can work on this you can work on anything.” Marines and Sailors with Marine Air Ground Task Force 23 maintain various civilian careers while continuing to answer the irrational call to service in the Marine Corps Reserve.
