Lance Cpl. Aeron Goodman, a rifleman with Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Division, a graduate of South Vermillion High School and Clinton, Indiana native, participated in exercise Nordic Frost in Jericho, Vermont, Jan.13-27, 2018. Goodman is a Reserve Marine, as well as a warehouse forklift operator and student at Ivy Technical Community College of Indiana. Reserve Marines with 24th Marines conducted cold weather training among the mountainous Vermont terrain at Camp Ethan Allen Training Site. The goal of Nordic Frost was to improve the unit’s environmental capabilities by giving them an introduction to cold weather training and testing their squad and fire team level defensive proficiency in an austere environment. This was a great opportunity for Marines to spend two weeks working together, battling the elements to ensure that they are ready to fight tonight and respond to the nation’s calls.
