Rice & Shine! Welcome to TFB’s Photo Of The Day and Japanese jungle! Above we see a U.S. Air Force technician from the 18th Component Maintenance Squadron, guarding his fire team’s retreat during a break contact combat exercise. This was part of a multi-day training event in 2019, at the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Camp Gonsalves, Japan.
