RILEY XANTEN II

U.S. Marines with Detachment D Company, 4th Law Enforcement Battalion, Force Headquarters Group, Marine Forces Reserve, and Airmen with 673rd Medical Group, Joint Base Elemendorf-Richardson, participate in a simulated snowmobile retrieval mission, Jim Creek, Alaska, Nov. 20, 2024. The servicemembers conducted the simulated retrieval mission during cold-weather safety training to prepare for upcoming Toys for Tots events. The Marines’ participation in this training prepares them to operate in harsh-weather conditions above the arctic circle, familiarizing themselves with survival techniques, snowmobile operation and the daily tasks they will conduct during the Toys for Tots mission.
