In a shock-and-awe attack heard across coastal North County, the Navy and Marines launched an hourlong amphibious assault landing at Camp Pendleton on Saturday in a brawny celebration of the service. With nine warships taking position off the coast, helicopters advanced toward Camp Pendleton, Marines parachuted in and Navy SEALs stormed ashore.

CAMP PENDLETON — Ordnance fired over the 5 Freeway at Saturday’s 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton prematurely detonated, striking and damaging a California Highway Patrol vehicle that was part of Vice President JD Vance’s detail, the CHP said Sunday.
