Combat engineers with 1st Platoon,
Bravo Company, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine
Logistics Group, participated in tactical marksmanship
courses at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan during September
2018. The Marines completed Combat Marksmanship Program
Tables 5 and 6 along with a ballistic breaching course with
M1014 shotguns and a machine gun course with M240B and M249
Squad Automatic Weapons to enhance their warfighting
abilities on the battlefield.
Combat engineers often
augment infantry units during exercises and deployments,
which requires tactical proficiency with multiple weapons
systems in various environments.
