Marines invade St. Louis Gateway Arch grounds
By Alex Fees
St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - The United States Marine Corps demonstrated full-scale combat air and ground operations showing how they would overwhelm an enemy objective from air, land, and sea; or, in this case, along the Mississippi riverfront in the middle of America.
Friday the Marine Corps traversed the river while receiving cover from military aircraft. They landed near the Grand Staircase at the foot of the Gateway Arch.
Thousands of people turned out to watch the would-be invasion.
The amphibious assault was scheduled to last about 45 minutes and included Marines, amphibious assault vehicles, combat rigid raiding crafts, the Osprey, an AV-8B Harrier, the CH-53 Super Stallion, a Sea Knight, a Cobra, and a Huey helicopter.
Officials with the U.S. Marine Corps say currently, more than 2,300 active duty and reserve Marines from Missouri are serving at home and overseas, including combat operations in Afghanistan. More than 20,000 men and women living in the St. Louis either have served or are serving in the Marine Corps.
