PACIFIC OCEAN (July 16, 2018) – Marines assigned to 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) descend from an MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, attached to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 166 (REIN), while participating in fast rope exercises from the flight deck of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during a regularly scheduled deployment of Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th MEU. The Essex ARG/MEU team is a strong, flexible, responsive, and consistent force capable of maneuver warfare across all domains; it is equipped and scalable to respond to any crisis from humanitarian assistance and disaster relief to contingency operations.
