Marines with Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve exit an Amphibious Assault Vehicle during a motorized operations course exercise during the 2015 Integrated Training Exercise at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., June 15, 2015. During these exercises, infantry Marines are trained to effectively move in and out of AAVs during combat simulations. ITX allows Reserve Marines to train in realistic environments and conditions, which reinforces maintenance of the highest levels of proficiency and readiness in preparation for worldwide deployment and the ability to work as a Marine Air Ground Task Force.
