    Three amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) in camouflage paint are staged on a dock alongside the US Naval Ship 'SGT. William R. Button', a large dark-hulled military cargo/transport vessel. The vehicles appear to have been recently offloaded or are being prepared for loading onto the ship. The scene depicts a military logistics or pre-deployment operation at a port facility.

    190318-N-MW964-1054 PORT HUENEME, Calif. (Mar. 13, 2019) Three amphibious assault vehicles (AAV-7A1) are offloaded from Military Sealift Command vessel USNS SGT William R. Button (T-AK 3012) in a maritime prepositioning force training evolution in Port Hueneme, California during Exercise Pacific Blitz 2019 (PacBlitz19). The inherently dynamic, scalable, and combined-arms capability of MAGTFs joined with mobility and sustainability provided by amphibious ships gives us an asymmetric advantage over adversaries. PacBlitz19 increases the ability of all participants to plan, communicate and conduct complex amphibious operations. (U.S. Navy Photo by Engineering Aid 1st Class Heather Salzman).
