Cpl. Christopher Truax, a team leader with Security Forces Company, Marine Wing Support Squadron-373, Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force - Crisis Response - Central Command, conducts a live-fire and maneuver range, July 18, 2016. The company is made up of Marines from a variety of backgrounds outside of Marine Corps infantry. “We get to see where we’re at as a fire team,” said the native of Horseheads, N.Y. The range, and the advanced shooting skills reviewed, better prepare the teams to reacting to a myriad of possible security threats. Truax, a food service specialist by trade, added another important aspect of the training was how his team displayed the skills as a whole. The course of fire requires teams of Marines to engage multiple targets as they make their approach. This is intended to simulate moving toward a possible threat. SPMAGTF – CR – CC is a self-sustaining expeditionary unit, designed to provide a broad range of crisis response capabilities throughout the Central Command area of responsibility, using organic aviation, logistical, and ground combat assets.
