 My name is Lance Corporal Dillon Rotosky, I'm with 3rd Battalion 6 Marine's Lima Company. I'm the Company Police Sergeant. We are currently at the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, California. MTX stands for Mountain Training Exercise. It's where a lot of units come to get better trained on how to work in a mountainous environment, a lot primarily focused on survival and small unit tactics. Second Marine Division likes to do a lot of these, so a lot of units have familiarity in a lot of different types of environments, like primarily training in Camp Lejeune where Second Marine Division is. It's a lot of flat, foresty, marshy areas, and here it's obviously the complete opposite on a mountainous forest terrain with a lot of snow. 3rd Battalion 6 Marine's is the primary training unit, but we also have a company from 3rd Battalion 8th Marines acting as a OP4, and they're also doing some other unit training themselves, such as skiing, I believe. Training like this allows units to be expeditionary ready. It goes into a lot of any climb in place. You've got to be able to adapt to your environment and not primarily focus on one type of environment. Marines have displayed a lot of physical and mental toughness through all of this training, which is a total different environment than what most of these Marines have trained in before, which is just flat terrain, and here we're going up and down mountains and through valleys. The extreme cold has definitely taken a lot of toll on people with a lot of frostbite and frostnip and other cold weather injuries. It's harder to get a lot of the resources, like food and water up here, because you actually have to work for it. There's not a water bowl that you can just go fill your analogy and up at and cook an MRE. It's a lot of hard survival work up here. Some of the more important things that we focused on in the training was a lot of survival. It's making sure your water is clean and you're drinking enough and you're eating enough food. It's a lot harder up here because the resources aren't as great as in a normal training environment. You actually have to go get your food by melting snow or finding a creek and then boiling it to make sure it's pure and you try to scoop out little things like leaves and clumps of sap and pine needles and all that from your food. A lot of other things that we focused on was just patrolling in a different environment. Obviously, the woods here can get pretty thick and you're going up steep hills, so a lot of movement speed has been decreased and you're not moving as fast. You're taking a lot more tactical pauses and trying to not kill all your energy the second you move out because it's a lot different environment. Absolutely 100% respect the mountain and bring chapstick because you're going to...
