    U.S. 5TH FLEET AREA OF OPERATIONS (Sept. 8, 2017) - A Marine with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force stands security during visit, board, search and seizure mission aboard USS Lewis B. Puller (T-ESB 3) during Alligator Dagger 2017. VBSSs are conducted to capture and control a suspected enemy vessel in order to combat terrorism, piracy and smuggling operations on the sea. Available expeditionary Navy/Marine Corps forces stand ready aboard ships to assure allies, deter potential adversaries and provide persistent U.S. presence. Alligator Dagger provides opportunity to enhance capabilities in critical mission sets inherent to the U.S. Navy-Marine Corps team. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Capt. Maida Zheng/Released)
