Shore Party Marines may not be the first personnel to hit the beach during an amphibious assault, but they are not far behind. During Exercise "CREE Victory" last week on Kauai, the Shore Party or "Landing Support Platoon," from LSU "Hotel" rode the waves ashore to Barking Sands Beach in the utility landing craft (LCU) from the USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3). As soon as the I 34-foot LCU offloading ramp hit the sand, landing support vehicle operators drove ashore a vast array of five-ton trucks, jeeps, bulldozers and other vehicles, each loaded down with equipm_ent necessary to set up the beach. "A comple:te physical evaluation of shore features," said First Lieutenant Frank Panter, platoon commander, ''is accomplished within the first 30 minutes. Sites must be selected and markers placed indicating to future support craft where to come ashore."

Different beach markings indicated the "dump" areas for each of the various cl!j.Sses or types of supplies being transported be they .ammunition, food, fuel, water or equipment. Landing zones (LZ's) were .. also designed for the helicopter pilots . - Landing Support Platoon corpsmen set up a Beach Evacuation station and coordinate with commu_nication personnel for helicopter medivac support. As Hospital Corpsman Third Class (}iM3) Robert Creed explained." At the evacuation station we receive, treat and evacuate .. casualties on an injury-degree priority basis.,

Shore Party radiomen established beach communication with the battalion landing team (BLT) commander and tactical logistics officer aboard the ship. Throughout exercise "CREE Victory," "Red Beach," as it was designated, was the site of continuous re-supply and support missions. The beach command post, once ere<;ted and camouflaged, was the site of the communications and control operations. Landing Support Marines worked alongside a Navy B~achmaster Unit which directed the flow of all naval craft.

Large rolls of special matting were ·qsed so vehicles would not get bogged down in the sand. On the .afternoo!l of D-Day, motor transport per­ sonnel of the 35th MAU discovered the value of the matting as they easily maneuvered their equipment across the beach. Shore Party Marines also set up beach security and prisoner of war operations. "Once the LSU .Headquarters sectio~ arrives," stated ls,tLt. Panter, "the LSU commander assumes respo~ibility and control of the overall beach organization. S.hore Party Marines however, retain their positions as key beach personnel."
