	Combat Rubber Raiding Craft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CRRC can be inflated in minutes by foot pump, compressor or C02 tank and can be deployed from shore, a variety of vessels, and even aircraft-deployed as a so-called "rubber ducky" load.
		The coxswain is considered the commander of the craft and is ultimately responsible for its operation, regardless of whether a senior-ranking individual is on board.
		During a textbook beach raid, for example, the raid craft stop at a point either 500 or 1,000 meters from the landing site and deploy "scout swimmers," who fin to the landing site, marking obstacles and eliminating sentries as they conduct reconnaissance.
