U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Osvaldo VasqueszBecerra, an expeditionary firefighter and rescue specialist with Marine Wing Support Squadron 471, Marine Aircraft Group 41, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, observes a response to a simulated aircraft fire during a Base Recovery After Attack as part of Integrated Training Exercise 4-24 at Camp Wilson, Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, June 22, 2024. The purpose of this simulation is to maintain readiness by demonstrating the ability to rapidly restore an airfield to operational capability following a simulated attack. ITX enables Marine Forces Reserve to mobilize geographically dispersed forces for potential future deployments, increase combat readiness and lethality, and exercise Marine Air-Ground Task Force command and control of battalions and squadrons across the full spectrum of warfare.
