Marines with 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, slipped onto Onslow Beach, N.C., early Nov. 4, 2014, to secure a beachhead for the assault amphibious vehicles of 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. The training exercise was one of many ongoing operations taking part during Bold Alligator 14, a scenario-driven event designed to test the Navy-Marine Corps team’s ability to conduct multifaceted operations from a base of support at sea. Reconnaissance Marines on the beach tested their ability to send back vital information to commanders off the coast, painting a picture of the landing zone and any enemy activity. Working off of their real-time intelligence, commanders then organized a larger beach landing to simulate the type of operation that could be used to support a Marine Air Ground Task Force’s operations ashore in a forward-deployed environment.
