Twin AV-8B Harrier short take off-vertical landing jets welcome a Pacific sunset on the flight deck of the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) while underway in the Pacific Ocean, June 25, 2017. The Harriers belong to Marine Attack Squadron 311, which departed the BHR Aug. 21 after its farewell tour as part of the 31st MEU. VMA-311 is slated to be the final Harrier squadron to support the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit from a forward-deployed station. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy’s Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the amphibious component of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group. The 31st MEU and PHIBRON 11 combine to provide a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
