What would be the "US term" for the sea boat/service boat that the soldiers/marines are getting out of, please? I would describe it as a "whaler" which in this context is purely a small sea boat/service boat normally carried by a ship and I believe is originally a Royal Navy term when used in this context. Used in this context, it does not imply a boat used for the hunting or killing of whales.

I would describe it as a "whaler"

That would probably be accurate, can't see much of it.

Looking at the boat, it's lines seem to best fit the 26' Utility Boat. High bow, low stern. Capacity of 25 men. MORE. Browse the boat types, HERE.
