Marines and sailors of Company E., Battalion Landing Team 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, dismount their amphibious assault vehicles in preparation for the assault and seizure of a notional enemy airfield here, Sept. 12-14. The three-day training evolution was the beginning of the 31st MEU's certification exercise, a series of notional operations throughout the Mariana Islands designed to reenforce the Marines' skills and tactics. The airfield seizure exercise was the largest U.S. operation on the island of Tinian since its use as a strategic airfield during World War II. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and is the Marine Corps' force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region.
