OCONUS, March 24, 2025 - Hello, I am [ ]. I received your care package today (March 24, 2025) and I am so very thankful. There wasn’t one thing in there that won’t be useful and there is so much that I can share with my fellow coworkers. I’d probably say that my favorite thing on there were the Burt’s Bee chapsticks. That’s all I will use and I literally just finished my last tube yesterday so it was ironic timing that I received this package from y'all with 3 tubes in it. I also really enjoyed reading the handwritten notes, especially one from a high school sophomore.
Bridgeport, California. (April 26, 2025): To most of us, scaling a mountain in a driving snowstorm would be an ordeal. To the Marines, it is the perfect place to take a hike. In this photo by Sergeant Mary Torres, Marines and Sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 6, Combat Logistics Regiment 2, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division, take part in a tactical exercise during Mountain Training Exercise 2-25 at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center.
The Mountain Warfare Training Center is used to prepare Marines and allied forces to operate in mountainous, high altitude, and freezing weather environments. The Center was established in the 1950s to season troops in freezing weather before they deployed to fight in the frozen mountains of Korea.

PENTAGON, (March 25, 2025): Service members assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border have a new directive: conduct patrols.
Until now, the U.S. military mission at the southern border has been static. Service members have been engaged mostly in stationary detection and monitoring activities. But no longer.
On March 20, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order allowing service members involved in the mission to do more and conduct their mission on foot or on board Stryker armored vehicles.
