The Marine Expeditionary Force will host a live-fire Amphibious Capabilities Demonstration at Camp Pendleton’s Red Beach on Saturday to commemorate the Marine Corps’ 250th birthday and America’s 250th Anniversary, it was announced on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The capabilities demonstration will feature integrated Navy and Marine Corps operations across air, land and sea, according to base officials.<\/p>\n
“The force training activities planned ensure our readiness to defend the Homeland and protect our Nation’s interests abroad against emergent and unprecedented challenges today and in the years ahead,” a spokesperson with Camp Pendleton said in a statement. “All training events will occur on approved training ranges and comport with established safety protocols.”<\/p>\n
In advance of the training event and demonstration, a detailed risk assessment was conducted at the base. All participants will be briefed, while medical, fire, and emergency responders and equipment will be on site.<\/p>\n
Officials said all air, surface and ground movements are scripted and rehearsed in accordance with standard operating procedures and established safety checklists.<\/p>\n
Following the demonstration, Marines, Sailors and families will gather at Del Mar Beach for the Beach Bash, a celebration that “recognizes the people who form the foundation of the Marine Corps’ strength — our families and the community — as we share in the celebration of 250 years of service.” The event will include food vendors, music, static displays and family activities.<\/p>\n
