WASHINGTON — Five Guard Company Marines assigned to Marine Barracks Washington were recognized for their disciplined and decisive response after an armed individual pointed a weapon toward a guard post outside the installation. Lance Cpl. Joshua Aikman, Lance Cpl. Anthony Verastegui, Lance Cpl. Caden Phillips, Lance Cpl. Logan Carpenter, and Cpl. Ian Caudy relied on their training, one another and the standards expected of Marines to quickly respond, communicate and gain control of the situation while protecting the Barracks and surrounding community. Their actions reflected the discipline required to perform under pressure and the steady character that allows Marines to exercise sound judgement when circumstances vary from the plan.
Simulated gunfire interrupted the workday inside an occupied office building Sept. 3 as service members, civilian employees and contractors at Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island faced a split-second decision: run, hide or fight.
