U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Chance S. Aldrich, landing support specialist, Combat Logistics Battalion 11, Headquarters Regiment, 1st Marine Logistics Group, practices a box hitch while attending an animal packers course along with Marines from 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment (1/6), 2nd Marine Division (MARDIV), at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport, Calif., Sept. 4, 2015. The course is designed to teach Marines the lost combat art of handling pack animals, transporting gear, supplies, and wounded across rugged terrain too difficult for aircraft or vehicles. Marines with 1/6 participate in a month-long field exercise focusing on core mission essential tasks such as assault climbing, animal packing and small unit movements, to strengthen expeditionary high altitude warfare tactics in a mountainous environment against a hybrid threat, as they prepare for world-wide deployment.
