ARABIAN GULF (July 6, 2015) U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Christian Calderella, top, fights to subdue Lance Cpl. Paul Kainz during a short-range marksmanship qualification course aboard the dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47). Calderella and Kainz are both automatic riflemen with Kilo Company, Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Marines grappled for two minutes prior to going through the course of fire to simulate firing under stress and fatigue, which can occur in combat. The marksmanship course refined Marines combat marksmanship skills and incorporated the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program, which reinforces their warrior ethos. The 15th MEU is embarked on the Essex Amphibious Ready Group and deployed to maintain regional security in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
