This is only remotely related to aviation, but I believe the article describes an important mission:

As Marines we can be proud of this mission.

As I see it, in this era of cuts and cutback, the Marines are still out in front. This training facility is only a few miles from my home, so I feel close to the activity.

As you will see in the article, this is the real deal. They train at close quarters with live ammunition. Quick decisions and shoot to kill are the order of the day.
