What should be done if the LCAC lane is fouled?

When the LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) lane is fouled, the best course of action is to abort the mission immediately. This ensures the safety of personnel and equipment, as continuing operations in a fouled area could lead to accidents or collisions. Aborting the mission allows for a thorough assessment of the situation, ensuring that all hazards are addressed before attempting to resume operations.

Maintaining a focus on safety is crucial in a ramp marshal's responsibilities, particularly in dynamic environments like amphibious operations. By aborting the mission, command personnel can investigate the cause of the fouling and implement necessary measures for recovery or rerouting. This action prioritizes the safety of all involved over the continuation of operations.
