    U.S. Marines and Sailors with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) offload onto the Kaiser-class underway replenishment oiler USNS Patuxent (T-AO-201), a simulated enemy ship while conducting a visit, board, search and seizure during Amphibious Ready Group/MEU Exercise (ARGMEUEX), Atlantic Ocean, April 29, 2023. Maritime Interception Operations are utilized to capture enemy vessels, combat terrorism, piracy, and smuggling. The Bataan ARG and 26th MEU provide geographic combatant commanders with a wide range of flexible capabilities including maritime security operations, crisis response, sea control, counter-terrorism, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

    A U.S. Marines military helicopter, marked with the number '32' and the word 'MARINES' on its fuselage, is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky. The helicopter appears to be a UH-1Y Venom (Huey variant), with its side door open and personnel visible inside. The rotor blades show motion blur, indicating active flight.
    A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter (numbered '22') is landed on a ship's flight deck with rotors spinning. Armed military personnel in combat gear are exiting or staging near the open cabin door, suggesting a training exercise or tactical insertion/extraction operation. The helicopter bears 'NAVY' markings and squadron insignia, and is positioned on a marked helicopter landing pad aboard a naval vessel.
    The image shows a group of heavily armed military personnel conducting what appears to be a maritime boarding or ship-seizure operation on the deck of a vessel. The operators are wearing full tactical gear including helmets with night-vision mounts, body armor, and camouflage uniforms, and are moving in a tactical formation along the ship's exterior corridor. The setting is the outer deck of a large ship, identifiable by visible pipes, a lifeboat, and maritime fixtures.
    Two heavily equipped military or law enforcement personnel are conducting what appears to be a tactical room-clearing operation in a corridor or doorway. The scene is bathed in red lighting, likely from an emergency or tactical red light source overhead. Both individuals are wearing full tactical gear including helmets with night-vision device mounts and are carrying firearms.
    A fully equipped military operator in desert MARPAT camouflage is detaining a kneeling individual wearing a black hood and olive-green coveralls, with hands restrained behind their back. The setting appears to be the exterior deck or passageway of a naval vessel, indicated by the gray painted metal surfaces, industrial lighting fixtures, and ship hardware. This appears to be a military training exercise or visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) operation.
    A U.S. Marine in full combat gear, including MARPAT desert camouflage, tactical vest, and helmet with night-vision device, escorts a person wearing an olive-green coverall suit and a paintball-style protective face mask. The setting appears to be the deck or interior passageway of a naval vessel, consistent with a maritime interdiction or visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) training exercise. The individual in the coverall appears to be playing the role of a simulated detainee or role-player.
    Two individuals are on the deck of a naval vessel, with one person seated against a gray bulkhead wearing olive green coveralls and a welding-style face shield, and another in full desert camouflage combat gear kneeling beside them. The armed individual is equipped with a tactical helmet with night vision mounts, body armor, and an assault rifle. The scene appears to depict a military training exercise or drill, possibly a visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) or personnel recovery scenario.
    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identified as an MV-22 Osprey marked '04', is captured in flight just above the deck of a naval vessel at sea. The rotors are in helicopter mode, generating significant rotor wash visible as spray and turbulence on the deck surface below. At least one additional naval vessel is visible in the background on the open ocean.
    Three armed military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are moving across a naval vessel's flight deck toward a helicopter. The soldiers are equipped with tactical gear, helmets with night-vision mounts, body armor, and rifles. The scene appears to depict a special operations insertion or extraction exercise at sea.
    Two military personnel in desert camouflage uniforms are conducting a tactical clearing operation aboard what appears to be a cargo vessel or ship. They are positioned at a doorway/threshold, aiming rifles in a coordinated entry formation. The setting includes shipping containers and industrial ship infrastructure.
    The image shows what appears to be a military medical evacuation or casualty exercise inside a military transport aircraft. Several individuals in olive drab/green jumpsuits are lying on the aircraft floor, while personnel in desert camouflage uniforms (consistent with USMC MARPAT pattern) attend to them. Red chemical light sticks (chemlights) are visible on the casualties, which are commonly used in military MEDEVAC operations to mark patients.
    A military personnel wearing full combat gear, including a helmet with night-vision device mounts, is scanning or reading a barcode/label on a wooden shipping crate inside what appears to be a storage container or warehouse. The soldier is using a handheld scanning device pointed at the crate. This appears to be a logistics, inventory, or inspection operation.
    A person wearing gloves is holding a yellow FLIR identiFINDER handheld radiation detection device. The instrument has an active LCD display showing readings and is equipped with a blue detector end cap. The setting appears to be a storage area or warehouse with cardboard boxes visible in the background.
    Military medical personnel are performing tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) on a simulated or actual casualty lying on a litter/stretcher on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel. Multiple personnel in mixed camouflage uniforms — including MARPAT desert and MultiCam patterns — are administering IV fluids and other medical interventions. A yellow Hyster forklift is visible in the background, confirming a ship's hangar bay or cargo deck setting.
    Military personnel in desert camouflage (MARPAT) uniforms and tactical gear are performing combat casualty care on a simulated or actual casualty lying on a litter/stretcher. Multiple service members appear to be conducting tactical combat casualty care (TCCC), with one applying treatment to the casualty's arm. Medical equipment and supply bags are visible around the scene.
    A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter with rotors spinning is positioned on the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. Several military personnel in combat gear are boarding or preparing to board the aircraft. A second vessel is visible on the horizon in the background.
