A Marine with Company G provides security during a mechanized raid July 3. The company, one of four that make up Battalion Landing Team 2/4, the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s ground combat element – rode in tracked amphibious vehicles from USS Rushmore to an urban training area at Camp Pendleton. Two M1A1 tanks also partook in the raid, traveling to shore in Navy air-cushioned landing craft. The MEU, part of the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group, is conducting its first pre-deployment exercise at sea with its Navy counterpart, Amphibious Squadron 7. This Navy and Marine Corps team is testing interoperability before a deployment certification exercise later this summer.
