The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Neller, visited Marines and sailors with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard USS Essex, June 9th, while underway in the Pacific Ocean. The visit came while the Marines and sailors were conducting Composite Training Unit Exercise, which is the final pre-deployment exercise that certifies their ability to conduct military operations at sea and project power ashore during their upcoming deployment in summer of 2018.
