Although the objective is close to being accomplished, Marines with Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment continue pushing forward using the fire and maneuver technique, known as buddy rushes, at Shooting Range 6, Feb. 11, 2013. Not only is the battalion trying to focus on preparing for a deployment, they also want to make sure the new Marines are learning their role with their new squad mates. “So far the training has been cold, wet and muddy,” said lance Cpl. Walter Johnson, a team leader with 2nd platoon, Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, “but my team is doing well so far and learning how to adapt to the weather and building unit cohesion.”
