Marines from Company B take a break between training evolutions at Marine Corps Base Quantico’s military operations in urban terrain, training facility. On June 17, 2015 more than 100 Marines from B Co., Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., traveled to the Quantico, Va. MOUT town to refine their individual actions in an urban environment. “The training is focused on 1000-level training and readiness tasks [to include] making lower level entry into a compound and room clearing using proper techniques and procedures,” said Capt. David Moon, 3rd platoon commander, B. Co, Marine Barracks Washington, D.C. “With the complexity of today’s operating environment and the growth in large urban hubs this is the focus for the future. Although there is still importance on conventional warfare, a lot of the wars are fought in the urban environment.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Skye Davis/Released)
