Maj. Jade Campbell, representing Marine Aircraft Group 29, briefs Marines, Sailors and coalition partners at a rehearsal of concept drill for Bold Alligator 2013 at Camp Allen Norfolk, Va., April 20. Bold Alligator 13 is a synthetic, scenario-driven exercise designed to train staffs primarily from 2d Marine Expeditionary Brigade and Expeditionary Strike Group 2 in an effort to continue revitalizing and improving their ability to integrate and execute large-scale operations from the sea. The scale of this operation dwarfs a standard Marine Expeditionary Unit-Amphibious Ready Group team, which includes three amphibious assault ships with approximately 2,300 Marines and 2,000 Sailors embarked. - Maj.
