The winning rifle squad from Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, stands to receive applause after being pinned with a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and the Infantry Rifle Squad Competition Medal during an award ceremony aboard Camp Lejeune, N.C., July 1, 2015. The squad was declared the best rifle squad in the 2nd Marine Division after competing in the Infantry Rifle Squad Competition, a three-day physical and mental challenge that pushed the Marines to their limits and tested their abilities to work together as a cohesive unit.
