A Marine with Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment bounds during a live-fire range at Camp Lejeune, N.C., Dec. 13, 2017. The live-fire range consisted of squad attacks where Marines maneuvered toward and eliminated an objective, enabling them to improve the squad leaders’ ability to communicate and direct their Marines. The infantry Marines’ mission is to locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver or repel the enemy’s assault with fire and close combat. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
