MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- Marines with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit Battalion Landing Team set up a breaching charge to assault and clear an objective during a raid on Camp Pendleton, Feb. 8, 2017. Breaching is a process that allows Marines to enter a building by setting up explosives in an entry way to access the objective. The MEU is currently undergoing a demanding unit-level certification cycle in order to be proficient in every critical mission area needed to operate in contested domains or respond to crises around the globe.
