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.

UNITAS 2022

1st class petty officers of the USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19), lead a moment of silence during a memorial ceremony in remembrance of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, and the subsequent decades of war that followed while underway during exercise UNITAS LXIII, off the coast of Brazil, Sept. 11, 2022. The ceremony recognized those who were lost on 9/11 and afforded the service members time to reflect on their service and patriotism. UNITAS, which is Latin for ‘unity,’ trains forces from across the globe in South America to conduct joint maritime operations through the execution of anti-surface, anti-submarine, anti-air, amphibious, and electronic warfare operations that enhance warfighting proficiency and increase interoperability among participating naval and marine forces. The exercise builds, sustains, and sharpens partnerships in the region while exchanging military proficiencies across the 19 participating nations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Maj. Jeremy Wheeler)
