During their annual training period in Hawaii, more than 130 4th Force Reconnaissance Company Marines conducted exercises including live fire and demolition, small boat operations and scout swimming, and infiltration and ambush. The annual training period culminated in two days of full mission profiles that combined all the training elements into day and night operations for each platoon.
