Lance Cpl. Philip Buttiens leans over one of the two tail fins on an RQ-2B Pioneer unmanned aerial vehicle to return a wrench to his toolbox at Al Taqaddum, Iraq, May 2, while disconnecting the engine from the plane. The Pioneer is capable of flying up to 15,000 feet and 100 miles away, being controlled only by radio frequencies from a ground control station designed like a cockpit of a full-scale aircraft. Buttiens is an UAV mechanic with Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 2, Marine Air Control Group 38 (Reinforced), 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. He is a 21-year-old native of New Town, Pa.Photo by: Lance Cpl. James B. Hoke
