Training Conducted
- Orientation/Indoctrination lectures conducted for all newly joined Marines. All the S-sections join in the briefings which cover: past and present operations, map orientation, safety rules, orders and regulations, mission, units involved, dispositions, etc.
- There has been no formal GMSP Training. On the job training has been the rule. Practical applications has most often been the teaching vehicle, with command emphasis placed on critiques/reviews.
- Formal training is not practical at this time. Because of the many commitments for security, working parties, and operations; and the lack of class room type facilities, only squad size formal training could possibly be conducted.
D Tank and Ontos training has been conducted along with live firing exercises.
- Machine Gun and automatic weapons firing has been conducted by several companies.
