    Two military personnel are using signal flags to guide a Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) onto a sandy beach. The hovercraft, marked with the number '88', is generating significant exhaust smoke and dust as it approaches the shore. This appears to be a military amphibious landing operation or training exercise.

    A landing craft air cushion vehicle with Assault Craft Unit 4 embarked aboard USS Bataan (LHD-5) is directed ashore during a ship to shore deployment as part of their PHIBRON/MEU integration training at Onslow Beach, North Carolina Sept. 16, 2016. During a ship to shore, LCAC’s vacate the ship from miles off the coast to come ashore and transport Marines with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit and their equipment back to the vessel. PMINT will help Marines become accustom to working and living with their Navy counterparts on ship, preparing them for their upcoming deployment.

    A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion designated LCAC-2 is beached on a sandy shore with its bow ramp deployed. A military cargo truck (appears to be an M35-series 2.5-ton truck) is in the process of either loading onto or offloading from the hovercraft. The scene appears to be a amphibious landing or logistics exercise conducted at dusk or dawn.
