Innovative Readiness Training - Louisiana Care

ABOUT

On July 10-24, 2017, the Louisiana Care IRT contingent comprised of National Guard and Reserve assets of the U.S. Armed Forces will deploy to the medically underserved communities of Louisiana to conduct deployment and readiness training for military personnel. Incidental to military readiness training, the Louisiana Care IRT team will provide medical, dental and optometry care to assist local health and municipal authorities in addressing underserved and unmet community health and civic needs. Units will also conduct critical mission training and logistical movement in order to simulate military/civilian humanitarian operations and health care delivery in the time of crisis, conflict or disaster.

Marines with MAGTF-23 support Active Component vehicle maintenance
U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Dagin Johnson, an automotive maintenance technician, assigned to Truck Company, 23rd Marine Regiment, poses for a portrait during Integrated Training Exercise 4-22 at Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif., July 26, 2022. Johnson, from Ogden, Utah, performs aircraft maintenance with the U.S. Air Force as a civilian. “I never really wanted to actually get out [of the Marine Corps], but I wanted to try my own thing. I went back to the Reserves because I missed the boys. I missed doing my job with my guys. All in all, it's just the cohesion, the camaraderie, that you don't get on the outside. You know how Marines are: we're brothers.” Marines and Sailors with Marine Air Ground Task Force 23 maintain various civilian careers while continuing to answer the irrational call to service in the Marine Corps Reserve.
