Summary
Lance Cpl. Allan Rivera, a rifleman with Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, plays catch with local Okinawan children during a community relations event at Nature Marai Park, Kin Town, Okinawa, Japan, April 19, 2019. Community relations events give Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit the opportunity to give back and contribute to surrounding communities between Camp Hansen and Kin Town. Rivera, a native of Houston, Texas, graduated Stanford High School in June 2016, before enlisting in March 2018. The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
