Service members with Headquarters and Service Company, Combat Logistics Regiment 15, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward) participated in a company field competition Saturday, Dec. 6. The Marines left the office behind for a day, competing in seven scored events. Almost every competition incorporated skills learned during boot-camp, whether it was transporting the 'wounded' to safety with the litter-carry or just a test of strength and endurance. "They can't be home with family, so at least they can have a little time to have fun and relax," said 1st Lt. Rich W. Dawson, an intelligence officer. "It's all about motivation and going back to the basics of the Marine Corps," said Lance Cpl. Kayla M. Hughes, a 19-year-old intelligence analyst from Yuma, Az. "It builds unit cohesion because we all have to work together with our teams to complete the activities, we have to motivate each other," she said. Combat Logistics Regiment 15 is deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar Province of Iraq (MNF-W) to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi Reconstruction.
