Gunslinger 22

Senior leaders from across Marine Forces Reserve start on the same line while participating in an exercise called “Power Shuffle” during the Senior Leadership Workshop at Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, Jan. 23-26, 2017. The exercise shows how societies segregate different categories of people along the lines of power. The Marines and Sailors took steps forward or back after starting on the same line to demonstrate how differences in gender, racial heritage, sexual orientation, religion, age, and more can allow some groups to be given more power than others. Throughout the course the leaders discussed how these issues can affect unit cohesion, mission accomplishment and mission readiness. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Sara Graham)
