Medical supply trucks with 3rd Medical Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, are staged April 28 during a field training exercise at the Central Training Area. The exercise, which took place April 28 through May 1, introduced corpsmen to basic Marine combat training. “We’re going over patrolling and immediate action drills while on a patrol, whether it’s dealing with contact from the enemy, improvised explosive devices, or if they receive casualties,” said Staff Sgt. Jacob A. Sandahl. “We also did military operations on urbanized terrain, so they can apply the same skills in that kind of environment as well.” Sandahl is a tactics instructor with 3rd MLG, III Marine Expeditionary Force. The corpsmen are with 3rd Med. Bn., 3rd MLG, III MEF. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Wes J. Lucko/Released)
