 Bold Alligator 2012 is the largest U.S.-led joint force and multinational amphibious exercise on the East Coast. Marines and sailors have the opportunity to work alongside their counterparts from eight nations in real-life scenarios on the coasts of Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. Working with other forces, that's always a plus. The purpose of Bold Alligator is to revitalize Navy and Marine Corps amphibious expeditionary capabilities and train with a focus on force readiness and proficiency. The exercise will continue through February 12th. From Washington, I'm Sergeant Andrew Milner.
