ABOUT 

Approximately 4275 Marines and Sailors from Marine Forces Reserve are mobilizing from across the country to form Marine Air-Ground Task Force 25 and conduct Integrated Training Exercise 3-25 at Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif. ITX is a live-fire exercise combining infantry, artillery, aircraft, combat logistics, and all the supporting elements to train battalion and squadron-sized units in the tactical application of combined-arms maneuver, offensive and defensive operations during combat.

As the Marine Corps Reserve’s premier annual training event, ITX provides opportunities to mobilize geographically dispersed forces for a deployment; increase combat readiness and lethality; and exercise MAGTF command and control of battalions and squadrons across the full spectrum of warfare. This year’s ITX will be led by 25th Marine Regiment Headquarters as the command element; 1st Battalion, 23rd Marines and 2nd Battalion, 25th Marines as the ground combat element; Marine Aircraft Group 49 as the aviation combat element; and Combat Logistics Battalion 25 as the logistics combat element.

U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kush Vyas and Pfc. Lakshya Vyas have spent their entire lives side by side, and now in the Marine Corps Reserve nothing has changed.
In the vast Mojave Desert, where the sun rises over rocky hills and the air shimmers with heat, thousands of Marines gather for the most demanding training they’ll face outside of combat. Long days turn into longer nights, filled with live-fire drills, tactical movements, and critical decision-making. But amid the grit and grind of Integrated Training Exercise 3-25 (ITX 3-25), a small but mighty group moves throughout the ranks offering something often overlooked during warfighting preparation: spiritual strength, emotional support, and a frozen treat.
For U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Michael Alvarez, joining the Marine Corps Reserve started as a way to serve while staying in college, but it soon sparked his passion for intelligence work and inspired him to pursue it full-time.
