 Marines are known for their relentless attack and courage in the face of insurmountable odds, but during Exercise Hamel 2012 in Australia, the Marines of Battalion Landing Team's 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, find themselves on the defense. During a multi-week battle scenario, two platoons of golf company are holed up in a simulated town, preparing for the honest lot of the Australian Army's first brigade. We start with a sea wire in minefields move closer in. It's kind of rough terrain. It's going to slow them down just in general. From that, we have our initial defenses which consist of four buildings where we have two fire teams. Those two fire teams are armed with multiple heavy machine gun elements, one 84 millimeter rocket, and one javelin missile system, all prepared to repel the imminent assault.
