US. Marines with I Marine Expeditionary Force Support Battalion, recently conducted convoy training at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California. Marines conduct this type of training in order to sustain and improve upon their convoy-operation procedures to include: patrols, logistic support, medical evacuations, re-supplies, and target extractions.
