About

Task Force 1/25 and Active component aviation assets will participate in Exercise Northern Strike 2017 aboard Michigan’s Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center. TF 1/25 will be about 1,200 strong and include tanks, amphibious assault vehicles, light armored reconnaissance vehicles, reconnaissance Marines, combat engineers, and artillery attachments from across 4th Marine Division originating from 12 states, along with a United Kingdom Reserve 81mm mortar section.

Key live-fire training events are: platoon attacks (mechanized companies conducting mechanized amphibious raids, air assault company conducts air assault); company (-) (REIN) attack with mechanized integration (tank, AAV, LAR); company (REIN) defense with tank/engineer support (including heavy equipment); and a fire support coordination exercise. During the company (REIN) defense, the battalion’s air assault company will occupy its battle point following an air assault executed in conjunction with live-fire supporting arms. Training will focus on platoon-level collective tasks and prepare the battalion for Integrated Training Exercise 18 and possible OCONUS deployments in 2019.

14th Marine Regiment builds camaraderie at Dallas Cowboys stadium

Master Gunnery Sgt. Beutz, (left), ground fights with Sgt. Jordan Johnson, legal chief and separations NCO for Headquarters Company, 14th Marine Regiment, during a special physical training session held at the Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas, July 1, 2015. The regiment's Commanding Officer, Col. Joseph Russo, lead more than 40 of his Marines on a 3-mile run inside the stadium to build camaraderie and teamwork to help them focus on his vision of the Marine Corps' Expeditionary Force 21, the planning concept to develop the Corps over the next 10 years. Russo came up with the idea to use Cowboys Stadium as a training location because he said he understands what an honor it is to lead such an incredible group of Marines such as those in the regiment so he wanted to do something different and unique for them to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication to the unit and the Corps.
