ISIS overruns Marines' mock Iraqi training village

TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. — The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms was placed on a state of high alert last night, after forces of the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria overran a mock Iraqi training village located in the center of the base.

According to Marine officials, the town of Wadi al-Sahara — known to the locals as Ranges 200 and 215 — was stormed in the middle of the night by ISIS fighters. Hoisting the black and white ISIS flag over the town, ISIS Commander Ali Baba proclaimed the Islamic Emirate of Camp Wilson and declared shariah law across the base.

Baba then declared an immediate prohibition on the purchase and consumption of alcohol, except on designated Warrior Nights. In a show of sensitivity to local culture, he then submitted paperwork to the Tactical Training Exercise Control Group to reserve Wadi al-Sahara for the next hundred years and ordered his fighters to conduct proper range maintenance.
