Marines participating in the Ranger Amphibious Assault
Summary
Marines participating in the Ranger Amphibious Assault Course in Key West, Fla., March 19 through 30, camouflage themselves using sand on the beach while performing beach reconnaissance. The Marines are trained to make their way to the beach from the water to perform a survey of the area to determine if it’s a suitable location to bring in follow-on forces. They must use whatever material available to blend into their surroundings to avoid being detected. Throughout the course, the Marines carried a blue rubber training weapon with them at all times.
