The maintenance of U.S. military firearms is very poor, and in places like Okinawa with high salt and humidity, firearms are prone to rust.
The U.S. Marine Corps participated in the naming ceremony of the 12th Light Amphibious Task Force on March 3, 2025, at Camp Hansen in Okinawa, Japan. At the ceremony, the 12th Marine Expeditionary Unit welcomed its third and last subordinate unit, the 12th Light Amphibious Task Force. The establishment of this renowned unit has enhanced the 12th Light Amphibious Task Force's ability to integrate sensing, firepower, and mobility to support maritime operations, and has strengthened the Marines' commitment to addressing the changing threats in the Indo-Pacific region. The Marines belonging to the 12th Light Amphibious Task Force are part of the 12th Light Amphibious Task Force, the 12th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and the 3rd Marine Division.
