Description
English: Marines leap off an assault amphibious vehicle into the ocean during surf qualification off the coast of Oura Wan Beach at Camp Schwab Oct. 30. “This training evolution enables the Marines to get back to their core competency of being amphibious,” said Master Sgt. Sammy S. Supnet, the logistics chief with AAV Company, a part of CAB. “The Marines had the opportunity to overcome any fear of disembarking an AAV into open waters while trusting their life preserver to aid in a 500-meter swim.” Participants in the qualification are with Headquarters and Service Company, Combat Engineer Company and Assault Amphibious Vehicle Company, all part of Combat Assault Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Marines with 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, which is currently assigned to 4th Marines, also participated.
