Exercise Bold Alligator 2012, the largest naval amphibious exercise in the past 10 years, represents the Navy and Marine Corps' revitalization of the full range of amphibious operations. The exercise focuses on today's fight with today's forces, while showcasing the advantages of seabasing. This exercise will take place Jan. 30 - Feb. 12, 2012 afloat and ashore in and around Virginia and North Carolina. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Gregory N. Juday) |
I told you in a post earlier that the French and Australians (as well as our own Navy/Marine Corps...in particular the beginings of the sea base) were worth watching this week.
Well it looks like we're starting to see some of things that I was talking about. If I'm not mistaken the above photo shows the L-cat. I wondered how the new French landing craft would perform and it seems like we're going to get a good look at it during Bold Alligator.
More to come.
