shore party
Coastal landing team
A shore party is a group sent from a ship to land, typically for a specific purpose.
In naval contexts, it refers to personnel dispatched to conduct operations on shore—reconnaissance, resupply, or combat.
More casually, a shore party is sailors going ashore for liberty or recreation: The shore party hit every bar in the port.
