Australian army officers watch as an AV-8B Harrier jet aircraft assigned to Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 542 takes off on the flight deck aboard the only forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6). Members of the Australian army were onboard Bonhomme Richard to observe the amphibious capabilities of the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The Bonhomme Richard ARG and 31st MEU are participating in a certification exercise. The evaluated event determines if the 31st MEU is capable of doing certain missions such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations or non-combatant evacuation operations with the ARG.
