U.S Navy LT. Jane Njenga with 2nd Medical Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, poses for a photo on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Sept. 26, 2024. During August 2024, LT. Njenga was part of the Uniformed Services University Health Services Military Tropical Medicine (MTM) program, where she conducted medical research in Honduras. When asked how she plans to use her experiences and new knowledge back in the fleet Njenga shared, “A doctor that we learned from in the program explained how she was able to advise care on an outbreak in Hawaii after we returned from the course based on what we learned in Honduras. If a similar event happens to us, I will be able to advise different avenues of care that we might not have normally thought of because of the experience that I gained from the MTM program.” MTM is a six-week tri-service program that provides specialized training in aspects of medicine unique to tropical areas. It includes lectures from world renowned experts, providing a broad range of topics in infectious disease and tropical medicine. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Mary Kohlmann)

He was directly responsible for providing commanders with invaluable information on how to limit digital footprints during operations. When asked what drives him, Wagner replied, “I just enjoy my job, getting up a satellite or monitoring signal footprints, it reminds me of my work back home...working with my father to fix security systems really helped me learn work ethic.” Each week, 2nd MLG recognizes one outstanding Marine or Sailor that goes above and beyond in their duties and embodies the qualities of an outstanding service member.
