U.S. Marines with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task
Force Crisis Response-Africa completed a live-fire training
range with U.S. Army Special Forces in Baumholder, Germany,
March 3, 2015. The training prepared the Marines to engage
targets in close quarters and from behind a variety of
concealed positions. Special Forces personnel demonstrated a
series of shooting techniques for the Marines before working
through live-fire maneuver drills at the base.
The training
familiarized the Marines with Special Forces tactics and
procedures, paving the way for future operations where the
two groups may be working side by side. SPMAGTF-CR-AF is
based out of Morón Air Base, Spain, where the Marines are
positioned to conduct crisis response missions in support of
U.S. Africa Command.
