Marines and sailors with Bravo
Company, 3rd Medical Battalion, transport equipment for a
shock trauma treatment site via landing craft
air-cushion-class hovercraft in Okinawa, Japan, October 27,
2015. The event was part of Exercise Blue Chromite 2016.
Because Blue Chromite is an amphibious training exercise
that draws primarily from III Marine Expeditionary Force's
training resources in Okinawa, participating units maintain
a forward-deployed posture while eliminating travel costs.
3rd Med. Bn. is part of 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III MEF.
The hovercrafts belong to Naval Beach Unit 7.
