Navy Cross recipient Cpl. Christopher B. Farias is congratulated by Maj. Gen. Ronald L. Bailey, commanding general of 1st Marine Division, after an award ceremony here, May 18. Farias received the nation's second highest award for bravery for actions in Kajaki district, Afghanistan. On Oct. 5, 2010, Farias and his squad were struck by a 73-millimeter recoilless rifle and received fire from three enemy positions during a night ambush. Farias received a concussion and was wounded by shrapnel but exposed himself on a rooftop to direct suppressive fire, allowing casualties to be evacuated. Farias remained in the fight until an airstrike ended the engagement. After the firefight, Farias walked while bleeding more than 2,000 meters to a pickup point. - Navy Cross recipient Cpl.

Lance Cpl. McKenzie Schmalz, an anti-tank missile man, Personal Security Detachment, Regimental Combat Team 7, and Petty Officer Third Class David Ferguson, a corpsman, PSD, RCT-7, clear a room during urban combat training, May 10. The Marines practiced clearing rooms and shooting on the move during training as part of Spartan Resolve 3-2012. SR 3-12 is an exercise designed to prepare the Marines and sailors of RCT-7 for their upcoming deployment to Helmand province, Afghanistan. “The important thing is that we work together as a team and start coming together,” said Schmalz, a 19-year-old native of Barrington, N.H. “All of this training, not just the close quarters stuff, helps us know what each other is going to do so we can establish good routines.” - Lance Cpl.
