    Sergeant Thomas Reed, a training noncommissioned officer serving with Truck Company Alpha, Headquarters Battalion, 1st Marine Division, inspects and cleans a MK93 Heavy Machine Gun Mounting System during the Basic Mk-19 Heavy Machine Gun Course here, June 11, 2013. Throughout the course, support Marines were instructed by experienced machine gunners who are combat veterans. The course tested Marines on the weapon nomenclature, weapon conditions, the weapon’s range, different types of ammunition and range cards. Reed, a native of Wooster, Ohio, was sent to the course to prepare himself and his junior Marines for an upcoming combat deployment to Afghanistan.
