The Marines cleared the snow in order to set up a tent while conducting cold-weather safety training to prepare for upcoming Toys for Tots events. The Marines’ participation in this training prepares them to operate in harsh-weather conditions above the arctic circle, familiarizing themselves with survival techniques, snowmobile operation and the daily tasks they will conduct during the Toys for Tots mission.
