‘America’s Battalion’ improves infantry skills during Island Viper

MARINE CORPS BASE HAWAII -- Exer- cise Island Viper was conducted to train three of the four infantry battalion core mission essential tasks; amphibious op- erations, offensive operations and sta- bility operations. During this training the unit focused on small unit-level leadership in order to increase their lethality and ability to fight whenever the battalion is called upon to fight. They conducted a live-fire squad attack, helicopter-borne opera- tions, amphibious operations with am- phibious assault vehicles and stability operations all led by the enlisted Ma- rines at the squad leader level. The regiment’s intent during this ex- ercise was to develop and empower its noncommissioned officers.
