Marine Malcom Finishes Training
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif, (FHTNC) - Marine Private Allen R. Malcom, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Malcom of 12710 Harrisburg Circle, Farmers Branch, has completed individual combat training here.
The four-week course included over 200 hours of instruction under simulated combat conditions, covering squad tactics, guerrilla warfare, day and night combat, patroling and the use of infantry weapons.
His next stop is four weeks of basic specialist training in his military occupational field. Marines to be assigned to infantry units will be taught infantry sub-specialties, such as the machine gun, grenade launcher, rifle or mortar. Marines to be assigned to highly technical specialties will be sent to military technical schools for their specialist training.
Leathernecks bound for the Pacific will receive more training when they report to the Staging Battalion at Camp Pendleton, Calif. This training will emphasize jungle warfare, partoling and civic action based on experience gained in Vietnam
