KAHUKUS, Hawaii -- KAHUKUS -- The Lava Dogs of 1st Bn., 3rd Marine Regiment, conducted a 26-mile movement from Kawailoa to the Kahukus in an attempt to clear enemy areas of activity and to reopen an imaginary supply route between nongovernment organizations and the local populous.As the more than 300 Marines from 1/3 pushed the simulated enemy from their positions, the enemy surprised with a chemical attack.This was just one in a myriad of rehearsed scenarios in which the Marines from 1/3 and soldiers from the Army's 71st Chemical Co., conducted integrated nuclear, biological and chemical training at the Kahukus Oct. 23."All the situations going on in the world now call for NBC training," said 1st Lt. Anthony Zinni, commanding officer, Alpha Co., 1/3. "This training will help them get ready for what can happen in a war-time situation. "Also, they learned what it's like to wear the equipment during intense heat."The Schofield soldiers facilitated the training by setting off simulated NBC attacks and decontaminating the vehicles used during the training."Both Marines and soldiers gave great performances," said Zinni. "The soldiers helped us out a lot in this joint training effort.""This was a great opportunity to see how the Marines train and operate," said Army Sgt. Takisha Dilts, chemical operations noncommissioned officer for 71st Chemical Co.This training was essential for the warriors from 1/3 whom are performing their work-ups for deployment to Okinawa in March 2003. "This is the first time for many of the new Marines to use their NBC gear in an actual scenario," said Lance Cpl. Joshua Kane, NBC specialist, Headquarters and Service Co., 3rd Marine Regiment. "In a real-life situation this gear, though hot and uncomfortable, will save their life."
