Angel Maldonado, a collateral duty inspector assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165 (Reinforced), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, washes a CH-53E Super Stallion attached to VMM-165 (Rein.), 15th MEU, during an agricultural washdown of aircraft and equipment in the Pacific Ocean June 27, 2024.

Somerset and embarked elements of the 15th MEU are conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
