Marines with 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, get ready to unload vehicles from landing craft air cushion vehicles during an amphibious operation training exercise July 24, 2013 at Onslow Beach, N.C. “Amphibious training like this should be done more considering the fact that the Marine Corps is amphibious. We have strayed away from that due to the war we have been fighting,” said Cpl. Nathan D. Shaw, the 1st Squad leader with Kilo Company, 3rd Bn., 8th Marines, and native of Louisville, Ky.
