More Information
More than a dozen Marines with 2nd Intelligence Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force left their base of operations at Camp Lejeune, N.C., to test their recently developed underwater survey techniques off the coast of California. The unit pioneered a hydrographic survey program less than two years ago, and started deploying their techniques to various training sites during the last six months. The program now allows them the conduct detailed examinations of the terrain below the waves, which is a unique capability in the Marine Corps. Survey personnel collect detailed scans of the ocean floor and river environments to provide Marine operations with an accurate picture of operational environments. Their mission to California allowed them to test their new techniques far away from their base of support as a way to proof the program’s viability in deployed environments.
