    U.S. Marines participating in T-AKE 14-2 approach the shore using components of an Improved Ribbon Bridge pushed by Bridge Erection Boats while executing ship-to-shore transport operations Oct. 8 in logistical support of Amphibious Landing Exercise 2015 in Subic Bay, Philippines. The operations proved the concept that IRB components can be used in conjunction with BEBs on the open ocean as a ship-to-shore connector for transporting supplies and equipment to Marines on shore. The Marines are combat engineers with 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force, currently assigned to Combat Logistics Detachment 379, Headquarters Regiment, 3rd MLG, III MEF. T-AKE 14-2 is a maritime pre-positioned force, multi-country theater security cooperation event that deployed from Okinawa aboard the USNS Sacagawea to participate in training exercises throughout the Asia-Pacific area of operations.
