Since locking- on in April 87, Echo has participated in diverse, special- ized training to include rubber boat operations and exten- sive cliff assault training. We conducted the largest rubber boat raid operation to have been conducted in the Camp Lejeune area in recent years. Deploying with LF6F, Echo Company Officers and SNCO billets were manned fully and the company was reinforced with combat ser- vice land supporting arms attachments. An aggressive deployment schedule ensured continued training and fur- ther development of advanced infantry skills and special operations capabilities. In recognition of the importance of small unit leadership, emphasis was placed on squad leader training during the deployment. As with other companies of the BLT, the Big has a cadre of dedicated NCO's who ensure the combat readiness of the unit. Proven and tested, Big stands ready at the tip of the whip of American military power in the Mediterra- 116811. wa ff if Z f fi , 5, mf if ,, fV.,, ,l 4 f .1 ff ji Q, w A f n, Y ,nl , 0, , f r 'nf , f f 1 H., , - 57 2 J, A ,ff W.. uf-if W f 5 ff, ,f f- f ,:,,1, '.f V- 7 ly , .
