    U.S. Marines with the U.S. Marine Corps Body Bearers raise a training casket as a part of caisson refamiliarization training at Fort Myer-Henderson Hall, Virginia on April 9, 2025. This opportunity prepares the Body Bearers to support the Army's return to using horse-drawn caissons for funerals at Arlington National Cemetery starting in June. The use of horse-drawn caissons for funerals is a long-standing tradition, with the Marines working alongside the Army to honor fallen service members. Caisson training prepares the Body Bearers to carry out their solemn duty with the dignity and precision the mission demands (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Christopher Prelle)
