1. Which marathon, where? thanks.

2. Marine Corp Marathon, yesterday.

Arlington, Va and Washington D.C.

3. "The People's Marathon", aka the Marine Corps Marathon

Marines stationed in and around DC often do security ops; it's not really a terribly likely target so much as it's good training for urban environments.

4. Domestic operations.

Posse Comitatus?

11. You going to close down all stateside training?

Or just the stuff that happens near marathons?
