Marines with 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st Marine Logistics Group, detain two role players who were caught burying improvised explosive devices during a field training exercise aboard Camp Pendleton, Calif., June 12, 2014. The enemies were caught just outside of an area in which Marines were constructing a forward operating base, a secured and fortified location used to increase operational tempo in forward deployed areas. The FOB was approximately 40,000 sq. meters and consisted of four 20-foot tall guard posts, a command and control center, as well as several other structures used for facilitating the safe and effective environment for planning and conducting operations.
