    A group of military personnel in digital camouflage uniforms are standing on the deck of a naval vessel, looking out toward a coastal area with calm blue water. The soldiers appear to be observing the shoreline or a port area as the ship approaches or departs. The scene suggests a maritime deployment or amphibious operation.

    26th Marine Expeditionary Unit     

    Marines and Sailors with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) disembark the USS San Antonio (LPD 17) while finishing their group sail exercise, Dec. 18, 2012. The exercise consisted of multiple training scenarios to include visit, board, search, and seizure; different variations of raids; and tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel simulations. The 26th MEU operates continuously across the globe, providing the president and unified combatant commanders with a forward-deployed, sea-based quick reaction force. The MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response, and limited contingency operations. The 26th MEU is slated to deploy in 2013.

    A large military helicopter, consistent with a CH-53E Super Stallion, is parked on the flight deck of a naval vessel with its rotors spinning. A line of heavily equipped military personnel, carrying large rucksacks and wearing combat gear, are boarding or preparing to board the aircraft. The scene depicts a troop embarkation operation at sea under partly cloudy skies.
    A U.S. Marine in MARPAT digital camouflage uniform stands in what appears to be the well deck or hangar bay of a naval vessel, carrying a large tactical rucksack and holding a camouflage cover or document. Several other Marines are visible in the background, also carrying heavy gear and rucksacks. The setting suggests a troop embarkation or debarkation operation aboard a military ship.
    The image shows military personnel and vehicles inside what appears to be the well deck of a naval amphibious assault ship. Marines in MARPAT camouflage uniforms carrying full combat loads and weapons are moving alongside military tactical trucks painted in camouflage pattern. A person in a white hard hat and green coveralls, likely a Navy sailor or deck crew member, is directing or overseeing the loading/unloading operation.
