History

[edit | edit source]

SCCO was equipped with a variety of boats designed to provide transportation and fire support to Marine infantry units.[2]

SCCO's mission was to provide a conventional riverine capability through the conduct of waterborne mobility, security, command and control, and assault/assault support operations; and, provide personnel, maintenance, and equipment support to both MEU-SOC's BLTs assigned to LF6F, as well as to Marine Forces during UNITAS.[3]

Some of SCCO's boats were turned over to the United States Navy Riverine Squadron before the unit's decommissioning.[4]

SCCO participated in the Battle of Haditha.
