Sailor and Marine flight deck crewmembers search for foreign objects and debris, or FOD, during a pause in flight operations aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) while underway in the Pacific Ocean, July 7, 2017. Deck crew constantly search for FOD in order to prevent damage to aircraft during flight operations at sea. The Sailors belong to the BHR and the Marines to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced). VMM-265 (Rein.) and Marine Attack Squadron 311 combine to form the Aviation Combat Element of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, currently supporting Talisman Saber 17 while deployed on its regularly-scheduled patrol of the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. Talisman Sabre is a biennial exercise designed to improve the interoperability between Australian and U.S. forces. The squadrons fly a variety of aircraft, including the MV-22B Osprey, AV-8B Harrier, CH-53E Super Stallion, AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom. (Official U.S. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sgt. T. T.
