RUT is a land-based exercise that provides an opportunity to integrate unique skills and develop the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s collective proficiency in challenging and unfamiliar environments. The 15th MEU maintains a high level of readiness to be where needed, when needed, and the units undergo demanding unit-level certification cycles to be proficient in every critical mission area.
