U.S. Marines assigned to Battalion Landing Team 2/4, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, conduct a vertical assault raid at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, April 29, 2026. The execution of this raid is a key event of the amphibious raid course that tests BLT 2/4’s and Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 364 (Rein.)'s proficiency in complex raid-force tactics and enhances the 13th MEU’s operational capabilities.
