The Marines from AABn transported Marines from 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment to the shore of Onslow Beach, Camp Lejeune, N.C., in their amphibious assault vehicles. More than 200 Marines from 1/6 traveled to Norfolk, Va., to board the USS Kearsarge, April 9-13, 2015, in support of Joint Operations Access Exercise (JOAX) 15.1. Marines simulated being part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) element deployed to conduct ship-to-shore assault on Onslow Beach, Camp Lejeune. The unit aimed to enhance skills in amphibious planning and execution, and to refine small unit urban operations during training. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Kirstin Merrimarahajara/released)
