Lieutenant Col. Thomas Freel, the future operations officer for 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, points out notional enemy locations on a terrain model for a rehearsal of concept drill during Exercise Desert Scimitar here, May 2, 2013. Desert Scimitar is a combined arms exercise focused on the training and preparation of 1st Marine Division for deployment as the ground combat element of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force. Freel, a native of Grosse Ile, Mich., said the exercise is a return to live-fire combined arms tactics training which has been overshadowed by the focus on counterinsurgency operations training throughout the past decade. The "Fighting Fifth" exercised traditional warfare command and control tactics over infantry, artillery and armored assets during Desert Scimitar.
