caption_attribution_description: Marines of the People's Liberation Army (Navy) (PLA(N)) stand at attention as Commander, Pacific Fleet Rear Adm. Gary Roughead greets them following a demonstration of the brigade's capabilities. Roughead's visit to Zhanjiang coincides with the port visit of the amphibious transport docks ship USS Juneau (LPD 10), which will conduct a search-and-rescue exercise (SAREX) with PLA (N) assets after the visit. Roughead and Chinese leaders feel the visit and ensuing SAREX will promote mutual understanding, transparency and cooperation between both navies and nations.

Even if only a few nations have the capabilities to launch major amphibious assault operations, most Marines and Naval Infantry forces are able to carry limited amphibious landing, riverine and coastal warfare tasks. The list includes also army units specifically trained to operate as marines or naval infantry forces.
