U.S Marine Super Squad Training and Competition in World
Marines and Sailors from across the 1st Marine Division came together for the Division’s Super Squad Competition aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., June 30, 2015.
One squad from nine battalions was selected to represent their unit to compete head-to-head in the 36-hour event.
“It’s a competition to highlight the best squads in the Division, between 1st Marine Regiment, 5th Marine Regiment, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion and 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion,” said Master Sgt. Charles Vasseur, the staff non-commissioned officer in charge of the 1st Marine Division schools.
The squads underwent a nonstop, grueling test of endurance, occupational intelligence and cohesion to prove they had what it takes to claim the title of super squad.
