Lance Cpl. Jeremy Phares, rifleman, sights in Aug. 15 during a live-fire
exercise here with Company L, one of three rifle companies in Battalion
Landing Team 3/1, the ground combat element for the 11th Marine
Expeditionary Unit. Company L spent five days in the field during the
unit’s first sea-based training since becoming a complete Marine air
ground task force in May. The company disembarked USS New Orleans off
Pendleton’s coast and was driven ashore by amphibious assault vehicles. A
platoon of tracked vehicles from 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, Camp
Pendleton, reinforces the Pendleton-based 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines.
The platoon provides the go-to means of maneuver for Company L. Phares
