PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 3, 2022) Corporal Arturo Juarez, from Brownwood, Calif., assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), secures a pallet during a replenishment-at-sea with Dry Cargo and Ammunitions ship USNS Richard E. Byrd (T-AKE 4) , in the hangar bay of the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) during Operation Noble Fusion. Noble Fusion demonstrates that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed stand-in naval expeditionary forces can rapidly aggregate MEU/Amphibious Ready Group teams at sea, along with a carrier strike group, as well as other joint force elements and allies, in order to conduct lethal sea-denial operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of movement, and create advantage for US, partner and allied forces. Naval Expeditionary forces conduct training throughout the year, in the Indo-Pacific, to maintain readiness. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Theodore C. Lee)
