 A military police platoon with Marine Wing Support Squadron 371 are out training at the human proving grounds to prepare themselves for deployment in the fall, where they will be conducting general force protection. So anytime the squadron goes outside the wire, we make sure that they stay safe and have a contingent of MPs along with them. During their pre-deployment training, the MPs will be training with the M4 service rifles. We serve weapons such as the Mark 19 and conducting a number of convoy live fire simulations in order to build strong muscle memory and unit cohesion. The importance of developing that kind of camaraderie and that cohesion as a unit is something that we rely on to operate effectively in a deployed environment and ensure that whatever mission the squadrons tasked with, they're able to conduct that mission and accomplish that mission in a safe fashion. It may be hot and their time in Afghanistan may be difficult, but every Marine has a job they know must be accomplished. Obviously, we're very proud to be doing the job that all of us join the Marine Corps to do. Every one of these Marines joined during a time of war and we're very proud to be going forward and performing the mission that we've been tasked with by the American people. A total of two officers and 48 enlisted Marines will be deployed with the platoon this fall. I'm Corporal Daniel Malta, U-Maproving Grounds, Arizona.
