"MOUT simulates being in an urban combat environment. This gives the military members more accurate training in what they could be dealing with in the future," said Staff Sgt. Yahshua Ervin. Northern Viper is a combined-joint exercise designed to enhance regional cooperation between the U.S. and Japan. Marines with 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Marine Division are forward deployed to Japan as part of the Unit Deployment Program. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Savannah Mesimer).
