More Information
Marines conduct a Water Purification Training Exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., April 29, 2016. During the training, Marines employ the TWPS (Tactical Water Purification System) and LWPS (Lightweight Water Purification System) to familiarize them with proper system usage and necessary troubleshooting skills in preparation for the MEU’s upcoming Western Pacific 16-2 deployment. The TWPS is capable of producing 600 gallons of purified water per hour and the LWPS produces roughly 400 gallons of water per hour. Both systems contribute to the establishment of a purified water checkpoint, which filters water pulled from a contaminated source and provides a small populace with clean, potable water. The Marines are with Engineer Platoon, Combat Logistics Battalion 11, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. (U.S. Marine Corps Motion Imagery by 11th MEU Combat Camera/Released)
