CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Amphibious transport dock USS San Diego (LPD-22) slid into the thin, offshore fog bank as two waves of amphibious assault vehicles swam toward the sandy bluffs Thursday morning. Within minutes, several dozen combat-equipped Marines rushed from the ramps and made their way into a nearby village.
It wasn’t long before the sounds of gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades – simulated, for the most part, for this amphibious assault training mission – drew in the Marines in their mission to clear the village of “enemy” fighters or terrorists and perhaps capture one man considered to be a high-value target.
