Furnie Wilson, from Atlanta, attached to the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Howard (DDG 83), stacks garbage during a community cleanup in Dededo, Guam, July 11, after the conclusion of Pacific Vanguard 23. Pacific Vanguard represented an opportunity for the Indo-Pacific navies of Australia, Japan, Republic of Korea and United States to strengthen their skills in maritime operations, anti-submarine operations and anti-warfare operations, live-fire missile events, and advanced maneuvering scenarios in the Mariana Island Range Complex (MIRC). The U.S. military routinely operates in designated land, air, and sea areas of the Mariana Islands to safely train military service members in equipment use, tactics, joint operations, and humanitarian aid missions. Howard is assigned to Commander, Task Force 71/ Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest and forward-deployed DESRON and the U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force.
