The MWTC near Bridgeport, Calif., has begun teaching an advanced horsemanship training course in order to teach Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel the necessary skills to enable them to ride horses and move through terrain that can't be navigated by motor vehicles. Conditioned horses are able to travel more than 30 miles per day and can gallop at up to 40-miles per hour for short periods of time.

A new commissary and Marine Mart will open today in Coleville to military service members in Coleville, Gardnerville, Carson City and surrounding areas.

Located at the Lincoln Military Housing Area off Highway 395, the $10.3 million commissary and Marine Mart offer service members assigned to Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center at Pickel Meadow shopping options ranging from electronics to groceries. Guard and Reserve members and military retirees and their authorized family members are also authorized to shop in the military retail stores.

The 12,166-square-foot commissary is the first military grocery store to serve the training center. The commissary will sell fresh produce and meat, chill, frozen and grocery products. Operated by the Defense Commissary Agency, commissaries sell products at an average savings of more than 30 percent compared to commercial prices.

“Our goal is to provide each customer with personal service,” said Store Director Wendy Matuszak, who also serves as store director for the commissary on Naval Air Station Fallon. “We’re excited to bring the commissary benefit to the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center and look forward to getting to know our customers.”
