    A group of fully equipped Marines in combat gear are assembled on the flight deck of a naval vessel, preparing to board or having just disembarked from a large military helicopter. The helicopter, marked 'MARINES,' appears to be a CH-53E Super Stallion with its rotors spinning. A crew member wearing hearing protection is visible on the right, likely coordinating the boarding process.

    170811-N-DC385-429 CORAL SEA (Aug. 11, 2017) Marines, assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), embark a CH-53E Super Stallion, assigned to the “Dragons” of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 (Reinforced), on the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) as part of an embassy reinforcement simulation during a certification exercise (CERTEX). Bonhomme Richard, flagship of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group, is supporting a CERTEX that will evaluate the 31st MEU on crisis response operations for a number of potential contingencies. CERTEX, taking place off the coast of and within Australia’s Shoalwater Bay Training Area, will test the MEU’s ability to conduct all of its core missions such as stability operations, non-combatant evacuation and disaster relief.
