Recruits of Company K, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, exchange hits during a body sparring match as part of the Crucible, aboard Edson Range, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., July 17. Before conducting body sparring matches, drill instructors taught recruits the importance of hand-to-hand combat by reading a citation of a Marine who utilized his skills. Sgt. Ross Lindsey Iams, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the attack on Fort Riviere, Haiti, November 17, 1915, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy that proved vital to winning the battle and completing the mission.
