According to the NREA, the purpose of the burns is to reduce fuel litter, minimize the potential of wildfires, and promote wildlife habitat. Fuel litter is dead and trodden woody debris that could be used as fuel for wildfires or other potential hazards. In addition, excess foliage can disrupt the natural flow of nutrients throughout the soil and ecosystem as a whole. The burns are carried out multiple times throughout the year to achieve maximum results. Other benefits of conducting the controlled burns include the mitigation of pests and diseases, native plant reduction, and control of invasive species. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Cpl.

Kenneth Lyon, firefighter paramedic with Fire and Emergency Services, administers the first dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to base personnel at Production Plant Barstow, Marine Depot Maintenance Command on the Yermo Annex aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, California, March 3. The Moderna version of the vaccine requires two doses, 28 days apart. The first dose offers over 60 percent immunity and introduces the immune system to the outer shell of the virus and typically has little to no side effects other than a sore arm. The second dose is a heavier priming of the immune system as the immune system recognizes the outer shell of the virus faster and provides a robust response and over 90 percent immunity. Some recipients report exhaustion, fever and body aches for a couple of days after the second dose, which is normal. - Kenneth Lyon, firefighter paramedic with Fire and Emergency Services, administers the first dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to base personnel at Production Plant Barstow, Marine Depot Maintenance Command on the Yermo Annex aboard Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow, California, March 3.
