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.

Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators Attend Conference

The annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign is the hallmark community outreach program of the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The mission of the Toys for Tots (TFT) Program is to collect new unwrapped toys and distribute those toys to less fortunate children at Christmas in order to help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children. Local Campaign Coordinators, either Marine Forces Reserve Marines / Sailors, or a Local Community Organization (LCO) volunteer, lead and supervise over 860 local campaigns across our great Nation. The Foundation hosts an annual training conference to prepare both new and veteran Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators for the upcoming campaign. This annual training conference began in 1999 and grew to a level of approximately 500 Coordinators. The training that the Coordinators receive is through active participation in classes provided in all-hands sessions, panel discussions, and Regional group breakout sessions. The training is also provided virtually via WebEx to allow campaign staff and volunteers to participate. The speakers include members of the MTFTF staff, USMC and Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES or MFR) leadership, and current TFT Campaign Coordinators.
