MARINE CORPS TRAINING AREA BELLOWS, Hawaii – Cpl. Ryan Ill, a squad leader with first platoon Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, and a native of Millington, Mich., dons the Foot Mobile Charger (FMC) at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows, July 13. The FMC is an attachable battery that can be intertwined with an assault pack or flak jacket and recharges other types of batteries, distributing more energy across the battlefield. It also has a solar panel attachment that can be used to recharge the main battery. The FMC is part of the Marine Corps Advanced Warfighting Experiment, a culmination of progressive experiments designed to test potential future technologies, solutions and concepts to future Marine Air Ground Task Force challenges.
