Marines embarked on BSF large landing ships Caesar Kunikov and Nikolai Filchenkov in Sevastopol and after a short trip landed on unprepared coast of Opuk range near Feodosiya.

Part of the marine brigade consisting of assault battalion, self-propelled howitzer battalion, and air defense battalion carried out a 250-km march by land.
