The DLQ survey familiarized U.S. Marine Corps pilots, with the 31st MEU, and TNI sailors on the tactics, techniques, and procedures of landing on the amphibious dock landing ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20) and the RSS Endeavour. The ability to operate seamlessly and simultaneously on the sea, ashore, and in the air, represents the unique value of amphibious forces. Super Garuda Shield 2023 (SGS23) is an annual exercise that has significantly grown in scope and size since 2009. SGS2023 is the second consecutive time this exercise has grown into a combined and joint event, highlighting the seven participating and 12 observing nations' commitment to partnership and a free and open Indo-Pacific.
