Marines participating in Operation Double Eagle load cargo onto landing craft in Vietnam on January 30, 1966. This operation was the largest amphibious landing since Inchon, Korea, and involved coordination with ARVN troops. The landing itself was unopposed, but Marines faced sniper fire once they moved inland. Photo by 35gt. K. Kelly.
