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.
