The Kinetic Boot sits on display at the Experimental Forward Operating Base ’14 here May 13. The Kinetic Boot helps reduce battery and power weight as well as efficiently harvests energy during ambulation. ExFOB ’14 is taking place May 12-16 and offers Marines the opportunity to come out and evaluate technologies that could possibly be used in the Marine Corps’ future. - The Kinetic Boot sits on display at the Experimental Forward Operating Base ’14 here May 13.

The Marine Auster Patrolling System's (MAPS) vest power manager (VPM-402) connects and manages multiple, tactical power requirements through a single interface. MAPS is a technology being developed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division for the Marine Expeditionary Energy Office. The system improves the sustainability of dismounted Marines on patrol by providing them with a central energy source, a wearable solar panel and a water filtration system. - The Marine Auster Patrolling System's (MAPS) vest power manager (VPM-402) connects and manages multiple, tactical power requirements through a single interface.

Lance Cpl. David Anzualda, a Frisco, Texas, native, and cyber network operator with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) command element, peers out the back of an MV-22B Osprey as he crosses decks from the USS Bataan (LHD 5) to the USS San Antonio (LPD 17), Dec. 15, 2012. This was part of the 26th MEU's third major training exercise of their pre-deployment training process. The 26th MEU operates continuously across the globe, providing the president and unified combatant commanders with a forward-deployed, sea-based quick reaction force. The MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response, and limited contingency operations. The 26th MEU is slated to deploy in 2013.
