    Marine Combat Training is a 22-day course in which entry level Marines are taught the common skills needed in combat. While at Marine Combat Training Battalion every Marine will learn the basics of Combat Marksmanship, Grenades, the M203 Grenade Launcher, AT-4 Rocket Launcher, M240G Medium Machine Gun, Improvised Explosive Devices, Defending a Position, Convoy Operations, Combat Formations, Fireteam Assaults, Patrolling, Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT), Communicate with a PRC-119 (radio), Reporting Intel, and Land Navigation. They will also undergo combat conditioning by running the Marine Corps Obstacle Course, conducting hikes, runs and Marine Corps Martial Arts training. Upon completion of Marine Combat Training every Marine will have the knowledge and ability to operate in a combat environment as a basic rifleman.
