DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable: Exercise BOLD ALLIGATOR 2011

DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable with Brig. Gen. Christopher S. Owens, commanding general, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, the Marine component of Exercise BOLD ALLIGATOR 2011, which has been designed to reacquaint brigades and group level commands with their amphibious doctrine, tactical skill sets and logistical requirements in accordance with the Commandant's intent for Marines to get back to their "amphibious roots." After more than ten years of fighting in land-locked warfare throughout Iraq and Afghanistan, the Navy/Marine Corps team is working hard to revitalize its amphibious capability and reassert its role as "fighters from the sea" beginning early this December with Exercise BOLD ALLIGATOR 2011.
