00:01.147 --> 00:03.730
(wind blowing)

00:07.102 --> 00:09.174
- [Instructor] Three, two, one!

00:09.174 --> 00:11.507
(explosion)

00:12.400 --> 00:15.840
- [Narrator] Founded on September 8, 1994

00:15.840 --> 00:17.810
the Combat Assault Company was formed

00:17.810 --> 00:21.000
with elements of 3rd
Combat Engineer Battalion,

00:21.000 --> 00:22.820
and 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion

00:22.820 --> 00:25.490
merged on the 3rd Marine Regiment.

00:25.490 --> 00:27.710
Since then, Combat Assault Company

00:27.710 --> 00:31.050
has progressively grown
in structure and personnel

00:31.050 --> 00:36.050
with a recent increase
from 120 to 260 Marines.

00:36.080 --> 00:40.950
This growth, as part of
Marine Corps Force 2025,

00:40.950 --> 00:42.770
established an implementation

00:42.770 --> 00:45.010
of one combat engineered platoon

00:45.010 --> 00:47.170
aligned to each infantry battalion

00:47.170 --> 00:49.240
within the 3rd Marine Regiment.

00:49.240 --> 00:51.800
Combat Assault Company
provides a wide variety

00:51.800 --> 00:54.320
of unique assault and
engineering capabilities

00:54.320 --> 00:58.023
to 3rd Marine Regiment
in any climb or place.

00:59.260 --> 01:02.080
In addition to the organic
amphibious surface lift,

01:02.080 --> 01:05.720
AV's represent the reinforced AV Platoon,

01:05.720 --> 01:09.260
increased lethality, mobility,
and surface stability too,

01:09.260 --> 01:11.833
is the battalions of
the 3rd Marine Regiment.

01:13.290 --> 01:16.760
The capabilities of CACs AV
Platoon are equivalent to the

01:16.760 --> 01:19.603
Muse Battalion Landing Team
Assault Amphibian Platoon.

01:20.760 --> 01:23.000
It's robust maintenance ability

01:23.000 --> 01:24.810
for amphibious assault vehicles

01:24.810 --> 01:29.098
and engineers insure a consistent
high state of readiness,

01:29.098 --> 01:32.030
that coupled with a deep staff bench

01:32.030 --> 01:33.470
in the company headquarters

01:33.470 --> 01:35.563
allows for rapid deployment.

01:36.570 --> 01:39.760
The engineers of 4th Platoon
brings heavy equipment,

01:39.760 --> 01:43.776
tactical power, and mechanics
down to the battalion level.

01:43.776 --> 01:46.743
Bringing their crucial
capabilities closer to the fight.

01:48.200 --> 01:50.720
There is only one Combat Assault Company

01:50.720 --> 01:52.110
in the Marine Corps.

01:52.110 --> 01:54.510
And it is vital to the combat lethality

01:54.510 --> 01:55.660
of 3rd Marine Regiment.

01:58.250 --> 02:00.910
- Combat Assault Company's
uniquely postured to provide

02:00.910 --> 02:02.760
direct support to the infantry battalions

02:02.760 --> 02:03.940
within 3rd Marine Regiment

02:03.940 --> 02:05.920
for mobility and counter-mobility.

02:05.920 --> 02:07.920
By integrating engineers and trackers

02:07.920 --> 02:09.210
within the same company,

02:09.210 --> 02:11.840
it enhanced the lethality
and survivability

02:11.840 --> 02:13.530
supporting infantry forces throughout

02:13.530 --> 02:15.113
the Pacific area of operations.

02:18.180 --> 02:20.300
- Not all MAVs need to be identical

02:20.300 --> 02:21.870
to complete their mission.

02:21.870 --> 02:24.090
And Combat Assault Company
is here because of the

02:24.090 --> 02:27.230
geographic isolation
of 3rd Marine Regiment

02:27.230 --> 02:31.240
and the need to provide
Combat Engineer's support

02:31.240 --> 02:32.793
and Amphibious Assault support.

02:34.840 --> 02:39.790
- Our team of teams of
communicators, maintainers,

02:39.790 --> 02:44.383
and engineer support, make
everything that we do possible.

02:45.360 --> 02:49.210
The things that they do allow
us to support the Infantry

02:49.210 --> 02:51.042
which is our number one objective.

02:51.042 --> 02:53.625
(upbeat music)

02:56.744 --> 02:59.244
