Super Squad Competition

ABOUT

4th Marine Division conducts an Annual Rifle Squad Competition (ARSC) to foster the warrior spirit through intense competition and determine the top rifle squad within 4th Marine Division for 2017. The competition cadre will consist of SNCO’s and NCO’s within MARFORRES and logistical support from Force Headquarters Group and the host battalion. The competition is designed to evaluate a 14-man infantry squad throughout an extensive field and live-fire evolution. 4th Marine Division conducts the ARSC aboard Fort Richardson, Alaska in order to determine the top rifle squad in the Division. The 2017 ARSC is open only to each of the 4th Marine Division infantry regiments. This year the Commanding General granted that each infantry regiment will provide their top two rifle squads to compete in offensive operations, defensive operations, patrolling techniques, combat marksmanship, physical endurance, and overall small unit leadership. Each event will be evaluated and scored with results and leaders board tracked throughout the event. At the conclusion of the competition each squad will participate in the closing ceremony where the Division Commanding General will recognize the top squad in the Division and award them with the “Super Squad” medal.

Unit Hike

Marines with Headquarters Battery, 14th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, receive a briefing after a three-mile morning hike at Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Texas, Jan 13, 2013. Marines from the regiment’s headquarters and the motor transport and communications sections hiked just over three miles with loaded packs as part of an exercise that promotes unit cohesion and morale. The hike was the first of several that the unit plans to organize this year. 14th Marines will support a variety of exercises and operations in 2013, including Ulchi Freedom Guardian. UFG is a defense-oriented, routine exercise that enhances the ability of the Republic of Korea-U.S. alliance to deter against external aggression and maintain stability on the Korean peninsula.
