The Marine Corps Logistics Base prepares its Marines daily for mental and physical combat. 

One of the ways they achieve this is through the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program.  Several marines are now training to be martial arts instructors.  The students are learning the skills they need to give themselves and their fellow marines the upper hand in a combat situation.  Some of the training involves working with punching bags, simulated weapons and of course hand to hand combat training. 

They also practice sustainment, which helps with muscle memory to help them become more effective warriors in the field.  Once these students graduate, they will train and promote other marines while keeping safety a top priority.
