POHANG, South Korea (Feb. 8, 2015) - U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew T. Joeckel, a Houston, Texas, native, prepares to rappel down the tower during Korean Marine Exchange Program (KMEP) 15-17 at the Minam-ri Mountain Warfare Training Facility, Pohang. Training alongside the Republic of Korea (ROK) Marines gave the U.S. Marines the unique opportunity to revisit a familiar skill with a foreign force. The overarching goal of KMEP is to enhance and improve the interoperability of ROK and U.S. Marine Corps forces. Joeckel is a rifleman with Company K, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, currently assigned to 4th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force under the unit deployment program.
