    Dawn Blitz 2017 USS Essex Amphibious Assult

    PACIFIC OCEAN (Oct. 23, 2017) Marines assigned to 1st Marines, 4th Division embark aboard an MV-22 Osprey Tiltrotor aircraft assigned to the “Sea Elks” of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 166 on the flight deck of the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during Dawn Blitz 2017. Dawn Blitz is a scenario-driven exercise designed to train and integrate Navy and Marine Corps units by providing a robust training environment where forces plan and execute an amphibious assault, engage in live-fire events, and establish expeditionary advanced bases in a land and maritime threat environment to improve naval amphibious core competencies.
