Unit Deployment Program provides Marines with valuable skills
Marines with Battery O, 5th Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment, simulate firing an M240G medium machine gun during a demonstration for local government officials at East Fuji Maneuver Area on mainland Japan Sept. 14. Battery O is currently deployed to Okinawa, Japan as a part of the Unit Deployment Program, a program designed to increase the training level and unit continuity of Marine Corps units stationed in the continental United States. Units with Marine Forces Reserve have honed their skills in the UDP since 2003, and continue to do so, as two squadrons from the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing are set to mobilize for their UDP deployment in 2013.
