Pfc. Ryan M. Tran, Alpha Company, 1st Recruit Training Battalion, carries ammunition cans during the 12 Stalls event at Edson Range, Weapons and Field Training Battalion, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Calif., Dec. 9. One rule that was consistent across all challenges was to avoid the areas painted red, which simulated a casualty. The casualties were required to run a marked course with the ammunition cans before they were allowed to rejoin their squad. Today, all males recruited from west of the Mississippi are trained at MCRD San Diego. The depot is responsible for training more than 16,000 recruits annually. Alpha Company will graduate Dec. 18.
