Staff Sgt. Randall Lester (left) points toward aircraft as Maj. Lauchlin Byrd (center) and Maj. Thomas Short (right) scan the skies during close air support operations at a range near Fort Drum, N.Y., March 16, 2017. Marines assigned to 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, I Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, I Marine Expeditionary Force, worked in conjunction with Marines assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 269, Marine Aircraft Group 29, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, to complete the training. Without the teamwork between Marines on the ground and Marines in the skies, pilots would have much more difficulty finding their mission objectives. Lester is a fire support chief, Byrd is the executive officer of 1st ANGLICO and Short is a pilot with MAG-29. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Mackenzie Gibson/Released)
