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.

McCray earned the Congressional Gold Medal by presidential order for being one of the 20,000 African-American Marines to serve in the Corps between 1942 and 1949 during a time of racism and segregation. “That was the worst thing that I have experienced in my life,” said McCray, who was from then-violent west Philadelphia. “It was worse than my neighborhood at the time.”
