The training taught infantry Marines with 2nd Marine Division how to employ various drone systems like the RQ-11B Raven, RQ-20 Puma and the XMQ-13 Instant Eye drone, to use in potential future combat operations.

On this day in Marine Corps history in 1940,Major General Commandant Thomas Holcomb, 17th Commandant of the Marine Corps, issued orders to mobilize the Marine Reserve for WWII.That's it for your Marine Minute, for more news around the Corps go to Marines.mil.
