The purpose of the exercise is familiarizing the Marines with supply drops and pick-ups in areas where it might be too dangerous or the terrain is not suited for the helicopter to land. ITX 4-14 is the largest annual U.S. Marine Corps Reserve training exercise, which helps refine skills necessary to seamlessly integrate with active duty counterparts as well as operate as a complete Marine Air-Ground Task Force.
