U.S. Marines from the 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company Supporting Arms Liaison Team, who have been training in the Idaho desert since Sept. 30, 2013, carry their officer-in-charge, Capt. Charles Watt, off the battlefield after he’s –simulated-- hit with a mortar, near Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, Oct. 9, 2013.
