Sideboys aboard the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Essex await the arrival of the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenney. Kenney visited Essex during Amphibious Landing Exercise 2008, an annual joint exercise between the U.S. and Republic of the Philippines forces. Essex is the lead ship of the only forward-deployed Expeditionary Strike Group and serves as the flagship for CTF 76, the Navy's only forward-deployed amphibious force commander.
