6th ESB puts engineering skills to the test at exercise Red Dagger
A team of combat engineers with Company C, 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, Marine Forces Reserve, and commandos with 131 Commando Squadron Royal Engineers, British army, breach a defensive obstacle during a simulated raid on an urban compound during exercise Red Dagger at Fort Indiantown Gap, Penn., June 13, 2016. Combat engineers enhance a force’s momentum by physically shaping the battle space to enhance a unit’s use of space and time while denying the enemy unencumbered movement. Red Dagger is a bilateral training exercise that gives Marines an opportunity to exchange tactics, techniques and procedures as well as build working relationships with their British counterparts.
