Summary
Corporal Forrest Zinkl, a motor transport mechanic with Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Forces South, and a native of Rohnert Park, Calif., participated in the first combat marksmanship live-fire shoot held on the flight deck of the future amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), July 28, 2014. The purpose of the shoot was to refresh the Marines’ shooting skills to prepare them for their bi-lateral exchange in Brazil. Bi-lateral exchanges with our partners strengthen the relationships that facilitate the cooperation needed in the event of a crisis requiring a multinational effort.
