The Navy and Coast Guard are conducting a joint search-and-rescue operation for the missing service members who are all assigned to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, headquartered at Camp Pendleton near San Diego.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident," Col. Christopher Bronzi, 15th MEU Commanding Officer, said in a statement. "I ask that you keep our Marines, Sailors, and their families in your prayers as we continue our search."

Amphibious assault vehicles are armored and able to move from water to land.
