Schaefer is the sergeant major of the 15th MEU. Lawson is the senior enlisted with Combat Logistics Battalion 15, 15th MEU.

Sanders is a true force multiplier, cross-training and covering down on the tasks in the utilities field, and can be tasked with providing wiring to a tent, fixing a generator, hooking up an air-conditioning system, or working as a bulk fueler.
