Norfolk, Virginia. (April 18, 2023): In this photo by Corporal Jack Chen, Marines with Fleet Maintenance Force Atlantic, Marine Forces Command, and Marine Forces Northern Command compete in a tug-of-war during a regional field meet held at Captain Slade Cutter Park, Virginia. The Marines went head-to-head in flag football, rowing, and kickball before battling it out with pugil sticks in simulated ground combat. Events like these challenge Marines to maintain their tough physical conditioning while instilling a sense of camaraderie among America’s finest. Marine Forces Command is responsible for planning, equipping, and deployment of Marine ground forces in the event of war.
