2 The Warrior s Log Page 2 The Marines go marching one by one, Ooo-rah, Ooo-rah! Lance Cpl. Bruno J. Bego Fort Bragg, N.C. Marines and sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 22, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, embarked on a six-mile combat conditioning hike through the rough trails of Fort Bragg, N.C. Oct. 27, The hike was part of a 10-day pre-deployment training evolution to prepare the Marines and sailors prior to attaching to the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit. It s our last training day and really, the hike was part of the training evolution to build camaraderie, said Lt. Col. Mattew B. Reuter, commanding officer, CLB-22. It s always good to go out there and put some weight on your back and just test the mental and physical endurance. Marines and sailors endured the exhausting hike, baring heavy body armor, packs, weapons and fatigue after a grueling week in the field by using a decades-long Marine Corps tradition of singing cadence. There was a lot of motivation from the platoons during the hike, Reuter added. That s what I like about this. The Battalion was organized by platoons, which gave small unit leaders an opportu- See HIKE, Page 4 Photo by Lance Cpl. BrunoJ.

Oct. 27, The hike was part of a week-long training evolution to prepare the Marines and sailors for future deployments. Marines strengthen skills, relationships to defeat IEDs Pfc. Franklin E.

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. Improvised explosive devices are one of the most life-threatening weapons Marines and corpsmen encounter while deployed. Some Marines devote themselves to protecting their fellow service members from these home-made bombs, and in their military occupational specialty, training is See EOD, Page 5

3 The Warrior s Log Page 3 The Quick Reaction Force, 2nd Medical Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 25, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, react to a simulated threat which halted a patrol during a field exercise aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., Nov. 2, The battalion participated in the five-day training evolution from Oct. 30 to Nov. 4 at the base s Military Operations on Urban Terrain training facility, known as MOUT Town, in preparation for their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. 2nd Med. Bn. sailors, Marines prep for Afg. Pfc. Franklin E. Mercado CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. During deployment, service members may find themselves conducting duties that have nothing to do with their military occupational specialty. Marines and sailors with 2nd Medical Battalion, Combat Logistics Regiment 25, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, are cross training to prepare for the possibility of being pulled from their usual tasks and being assigned to a quick reaction force, gate guard or entry control point duty. The battalion participated in a five-day field exercise from Oct. 30 to Nov. 4 at a Military Operations in Urban Terrain training facility, known as MOUT Town, aboard Camp Lejeune. The goal of the exercise was for the Marines and sailors to train how they fight, said Ensign Matthew Robinson, the assistant operations officer, 2nd Med. Bn. We wanted them to get used to working with the flow of things, and just establish rapport and camaraderie among our guys, said Robinson. Establishing camaraderie among the battalion s personnel would not be an easy task, with approximately 270 service members working at the site, he added. There are a lot of us out here, but I think the training is going well, said Cpl. Kevin Xiong, a supply administration specialist with 2nd Med. Bn. It s hard to keep up with so many moving parts, but everyone is doing a good job, he continued. In addition to camaraderie, familiarity was a main goal of the exercise as it continued into its later stages. We have many different things we do out [in Afghanistan] that we don t do in garrison, said Robinson. Unless we get out here and do these field exercises routinely, we won t get the exposure we need to be proficient at [our duties] when we are in combat. Since Alpha Company, 2nd Med. Bn., was preparing for its upcoming deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, the battalion desired as much participation as possible. As the exercise drew to a close, and the deployment comes closer, Marines and sailors with 2nd Med. Bn. realized their roles can change drastically from dayto-day, but the unit remains dedicated to ensuring their comrades have the training they need to succeed in the various tasks they are met with.

4 The Warrior s Log Page 4 BIRTHDAY, continued from Page 1 tion of the season, the Corps 235th birthday. Marines and sailors with 2nd MLG met the early morning fog with an eagerness to match a young child s on Christmas morning. Their spirited shouts and the rustling of thousands of nylon track suits could be heard far beyond their immediate realm. Stand by double time, march, signaled the beginning of the run, at which point all of the runners energy was focused on a common goal, their end point at the 2nd MLG headquarters building. The pace of this run was good, much faster and better than other runs I ve been in, said Cpl. Bryan Carlson, a maintenance management specialist with 2nd MLG. Cadence calls were repeated within each unit, rousing the service members amid the chill of the early morning and drawingfurther attention to the long line of Marines. I like all cadence; it s motivating drill instructor stuff, said Cpl. Patrick Myers, a supply administration operations clerk with 2nd MLG. At the run s finish point, the Marines and sailors gathered in a mass formation behind the HQ building. A sea of reflective tape shone in the building s lights, intensifying the impression made by thousands of Marines gathered in one area. The 2nd MLG commanding general, Brig. Gen. Michael Dana, spoke to the respectfully reserved service members, reminding them of the importance of tradition and Marine Corps history. When he introduced the sergeant major of the Marine Corps, thunderous applause rose from the previously silent formation. Kent, the sergeant major of the Marine Corps since April 2007, spoke of past sergeants major. When the sergeant major said a retired sergeant major told him Marines today are tougher than Marines of his day, I was motivated and impressed, said Carson. The speeches followed a few minutes of light physical fitness: Marine Corps style. We got thrashed by a general, Carson said with a laugh. The commanding general and Kent both got down on the ground and led their Marines and sailors in pyramid pushups, completing each one right along with them. The leaders show of dedication to their Marines physical, as well as mental, status reinforced the widespread belief the Marine Corps is superior because of its camaraderie. The Corps has confidence in its traditions and history to propel the Marines of today into a successful future. The Marine Corps history speaks for itself. Happy birthday, Marines! HIKE, continued from Page 2 nity to be closer to their Marines and sailors while enhancing unit cohesion. During the hike, corpsmen marched alongside the rest of the Marines and sailors, not only participating in the training, but rendering medical service when needed. I love hikes; I think it was great, Seaman Apprentice Michael J. Sency, a religious program specialist with CLB- 22. It s just another thing we have to do with the Marines and it makes us feel like part of the battalion. I think if we are part of the battalion we have to do everything they do, Sency concluded. I definitely think it was one of the best hikes I have been on. Photo by Lance Cpl. BrunoJ.

5 The Warrior s Log Page 5 EOD, continued from Page 2 paramount. Marines with Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 8th Engineer Support Battalion, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, participated in Improvised Explosive Device Response training Nov. 4, at Camp Dave South Training Ground; one of the many training areas aboard Camp Lejeune. During the exercise, EOD technicians were given the opportunity to brush up their skills and find simulated IEDs scattered throughout the area by fellow technicians. The training is going well, said Staff Sgt. Dominic Chavez, an EOD technician, EOD Co. You rather make a mistake here than there, he continued. As the day went on, technicians practiced different scenarios and patrols. Patrols in Afghanistan are predominantly dismounted, said Sgt. D.J. Eddy, an EOD technician, EOD Co. So, that s what we re working on out here. Along with dismounted and mounted patrols, technicians were expected to decide what kind of IED they encountered and what course of action would best defuse the situation As the training went on, it was apparent; defusing the simulated IEDs wasn t the most difficult part of the exercise for each of the Marines. Time between calls is definitely the hardest part about the exercise, Eddy said. Getting everything ready and making sure all my gear is squared away for the next go around is the hardest part for me, Chavez said. The reason training runs so smoothly for the Marines is due to the relationship shared between each team, explained several of the technicians. Each team consists of two Marines per team, with a team leader for each one. The training is as much about relationship development as finding an IED, said Staff Sgt. Rocky Smith, an EOD technician, EOD Co. If that part is taken care of, it s one less thing to worry about while on a mission, he added. Trust in your fellow technicians could be just as vital as the training itself. With EOD Co. working toward strengthening skills and relationships between team members equally, they re ensuring their strength doesn t lie in one more than the other, but in both.
