A Marine with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division provides suppressing fire while fellow Marines bound back to break contact with a superior force during the simulated training exercise aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., Jan. 21, 2015. The Marines would conduct a patrol down range, the range targets would pop up simulating enemy targets, and then they would cover and move back down the range to elude the enemy force that, in this scenario, is superior.

Marines with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division began to conduct their patrol aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., Jan. 21, 2015. They took simulated enemy contact and proceeded to do immediate action drills, meaning that during each scenario the Marines would act immediately upon coming into contact with the enemy and they would either advance on the enemy position or break contact with an enemy with far superior numbers. The Marines ran a dry run followed by a run with live ammunition. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Justin T. Updegraff/Released)

Marines with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division receive instructions from Capt. Mark Robinson, 2nd Platoon Commander, Alpha Company with 2nd Recon, before beginning their live-fire run of the immediate action drills aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., Jan. 21, 2015. Since the Marines are using live ammunition, safety is paramount. Due to this, the officer in charge of the range allows the Marines to use live ammunition after the Marines conduct a dry run of the training. The use of live ammunition allows them to gain a better understanding of how to operate in real combat scenarios. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Justin T Updegraff/ Released)
