During these exercises, infantry Marines are trained to effectively move in and out of amphibian assault vehicles during combat simulations. ITX allows Reserve Marines to train in realistic environments and conditions, which reinforces maintenance of the highest levels of proficiency and readiness in preparation for worldwide deployment and the ability to work as a Marine Air Ground Task Force.
