One thousand pound Guided Bomb Units sit staged on the flight deck of the USS Wasp (LHD-1) while underway in the Philippine Sea, March 24, 2018. Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 loaded GBU-32s onto their F-35Bs, marking the first time an F-35 has been loaded with live ordnance at sea during an operational deployment. GBU-32s are GPS guided joint direct attack munitions capable of attaching to VMFA 121’s F-35B Lightning IIs. As the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, the 31st MEU provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide range of military operations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl.
