Readiness

Marines with 2nd and 4th Combat Engineer Battalion and 8th Engineer Support Battalion run with Combat Rubber Reconnaissance Crafts during a morning physical training session at the Sapper leader Course here July 25. The students in the course were put through rigorous combat training that challenged them both physically and mentally in order to gain the title "Sapper". The two-week course was the first of its kind, designed for Reserve Marines to recieve advanced training in the combat engineer military occupational specialty. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
