Description: Similar photographs of the same Marine training appear in the photo spread, "Camp Pendleton Makes Its Marines Tough," Los Angeles Times, 14 Apr. 1943: B
At center, two camouflaged Marines hide in the brush during a training exercise at Camp Pendleton. Both men dress in their combat uniforms and each are equipped with a rifle. Debris from the surrounding brush is tucked into their uniforms. Dirt appears to be smeared on their faces as well. A thicket of brush surrounds them.
