Company L Marines rehearse capturing an enemy position
Summary
Company L Marines rehearse capturing an enemy position Aug. 16 during live-fire training here. The rifle company is one of three in Battalion Landing Team 3/1, the ground combat element for the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Company L spent five days in the field during the unit’s first sea-based training since becoming a complete Marine air ground task force in May. The company disembarked USS New Orleans off Pendleton’s coast and was driven ashore by amphibious assault vehicles. A platoon of tracked vehicles from 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, Camp Pendleton, reinforces the Pendleton-based 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. The platoon provides the go-to means of maneuver for Company L.
