CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Hundreds of Marines stationed at Camp Lejeune in Onslow County, N.C., headed to the Mediterranean Sea on Monday.
ABC-affiliate WCTI said the Marines were scheduled to participate in a planned exercise with the Moroccan military when Exercise African Sea Lion was cancelled so the unit could move to the Mediterranean.
