Anzio Convoy Live Fire

We ran dry, blank, and finally live-fire runs of the Anzio course. The drill sergeants were very concerned about safety, particularly since we'd have live rounds chambered while dismounting the 5-ton truck. Everything went well, and the IED simulation was very good to run. As dusk fell, we started the Squad Night Fire to practice relief-in-place and Quick Reaction Forces. It was about 2300 when we finished and we figured they'd just move us back to the company, but instead we moved to the victory forge site, marched the 1/2 mile back to the site, made camp and slept.
