Last week, Marine Corps Embassy Security Group (MCESG) conducted a PT event centered around compound defense. The objective was simple: push through fatigue and finish strong.

Marines from across the command came together to compete, motivate one another, and prove once again that adversity is best overcome as a team. The event also served as a farewell PT for Colonel Magee, MCESG’s Commanding Officer.
