Marines of 6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, sailors from Navy Reserve Forces Command and villagers of Newtok, Alaska, watch as a young villager performs an agility challenge during a traditional native-Alaskan potluck upon the conclusion of the Innovative Readiness Training Mertarvik mission, July 28. More than 100 residents of Newtok made the nine-mile boat trip to Mertarvik with many native-Alaskan foods including several varieties of fresh and dried fish, dried seal meat, aged walrus meat, moose and several different kinds of pastries, to show their gratitude and bid farewell to the participating service members. IRT Mertarvik was a Marine-led, five-year, ongoing, joint-service, training opportunity for Reserve components of all branches of the U.S. military to hone their humanitarian skills, community relations and austere-condition operation capabilities, while supporting the relocation of a local Alaskan people of Newtok.
