Lance Cpl. Oliver Cravens, a heavy equipment operator with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force - Southern Command, grades a roadway during a command post exercise at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, April 9, 2020. The road had suffered from the use of heavy machinery and was in need of repair. The Marines and Sailors of SPMAGTF-SC use the training opportunity of the CPX to both show their capabilities in a controlled environment and prepare for the upcoming mission. SPMAGTF-SC is poised to conduct crisis response, theater security cooperation, and general engineering training alongside partner nation militaries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Cravens is a native of Portland, Oregon. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Benjamin D. Larsen)
