Volunteers help carry turtles for tagging at Turtle Cove. A team of marine biologists visited Diego Garcia in order to tag and track sea turtles, as well as study the environment in which they lay their eggs in. The U.S. Navy is constantly deployed to preserve peace, protect commerce, and deter aggression through forward presence. Join the conversation on social media using #warfighting.
