Garapan flood control study, Saipan : environmental impact statement

A British HAS, Mark 2 Lynx helicopter comes in to land aboard the amphibious assault ship USS SAIPAN (LHA 2) during Operation Sharp Edge. Marines embarked aboard the SAIPAN have been sent to the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia, Liberia, to augment security and evacuate U.S. and foreign nationals from the fighting between government and rebel forces

It appears that one Marine is relieving another on the beach at Saipan but they are really crawling under enemy fire, to their assigned positions.
