2nd LAR practicing patrolling techniques....photos by Lance Cpl. Brianna Gaudi

Note:  These photos make my heart sing.  I've seen so many pics of HRST, VBSS and other training activities that I've privately wondered if anyone was thinking of maintaining proficiency in basic Marine Corps tasks (every Marine a Rifleman remember?).  Moving thru the woods without making a racket and snagging on every wait-a-minute bush is something that must be practiced. This is good news that will never be highlighted in mainstream defense blogs.  Well done 2nd LAR!  Extremely well done!
