JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — We're proud to share the Stories of Service of the brave men and women of our armed forces. Sometimes their job is to help militaries of other nations learn how to become better soldiers.
In this week's Stories of Service we focus on a group of Marines from Jacksonville who are training other soldiers in the Middle East as part of Bravo Company, 4th Assault Amphibian Battalion.

Assault Amphibious Vehicle Technician Cpl. Davis Welch conducted squad attacks during Intrepid Maven, which was a bilateral exercise between U.S. Marine Corps forces, Central Command and the Jordanian Armed Forced.
Intrepid Maven was designed to strengthen partner-nation relationships in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility and improve both individual and bilateral unit readiness.
