Lance Cpl. Marco S. Buehler fires his MK-11 sniper rifle while Cpl. Brandon G. Liesenfelt spots for him Sept. 27, 2009, while flying over the Gulf of Aden.

The 26th MEU and Iwo Jima Strike Group are currently deployed in the Central Command area of responsibility. (Official USMC photo by Cpl. Aaron J. Rock) (Released)
