United States Marine Corps amphibious assault vehicles from the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit of Camp Pendleton "invade" the shores of Bellows Air Force Station, in Hawaii. The vehicles were disembarked by the USS BOXER Amphibious Ready Group as part of a training exercise enroute to a six-month tour in the Western Pacific. Bellows AFS is primarily used as a recreation site for military personnel, but is ideal and often used for amphibious training
