An F-35B Lightning II assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 122, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), embarked with the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), prepares to take off of the flight deck of forward-deployed amphibious assault carrier USS America (LHA 6) during forward arming and refueling ship (FARS) operations, March 16, 2023 in the East China Sea. Makin Island ARG’s ability to operate simultaneously on shore, sea, and in the air allows them to respond with flexible, adaptable force packages that are capable of a wide array of missions. Makin Island and America, lead ship of the America Amphibious Ready Group, conducted FARS operations in the 7th Fleet area of operations, the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, routinely operating with Allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific Region.
