PHILIPPINE SEA (Aug. 16, 2023) Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Raymond Brown, from Ardmore, Oklahoma, directs an MH-60R, attached to the Saberhawks of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 77, on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), during flight operations in support of Large Scale Exercise 2023. LSE 2023 integrates participants from six maritime component commands and seven numbered fleets across 22 time zones and is intended to refine how we synchronize maritime operations on a global scale. Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the United States, and supports alliances, partnerships, and collective maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region.
