Description
Raid exercise. Marines of 3/9 make beach landing with rubber boats, hide the boat, and participate in stealth training. Marines lie on the ground near a dirt trail, embark on rubber boats on the beach. Marines board rubber boats from the USS Crockett (PG-88) and later pull alongside to reboard. On shore, Marines armed with M16 rifles stand at ease with grease paint on their faces. A M60 machine gun sits on a bipod on the ground between them. Aboard the USS Crockett, a USMC Captain and 1sLt engage in discussion. Marines sleep on deck.
