Army Reserve Soldiers tackle Bataan Memorial Death March
U.S. Army Reserve Maj. Linda Zamora with the 372nd Quartermaster Battalion (Petroleum Support) stationed at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, briefs her team on the route for the 2018 Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, March 25, 2018. This is Zamora’s 13th time participating in the event. The Bataan Memorial Death March honors the U.S. service members and Filipino Soldiers that were forced marched 65 miles by the Japanese Army through the Philippine jungle in April of 1942. Events like this challenge a Soldier’s body and mind, while ensuring America’s Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy on short-notice and bring capable, combat-ready, and lethal firepower in support of the Army and our joint partners anywhere in the world.
