CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (March 25, 2009) -- Lt. Cmdr. Ferdinand Herrera fastens a chemical, biological and radiological suit for Culinary Specialist 1st Class Victor Rojas during a recent Amphibious Construction Battalion 1 field exercise. The exercise focuses on controlled tactical training scenarios demonstrating the battalion's primary mission to support real-time ship-to-shore operations in a hostile environment.
