U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Marcus B. Annibale, the commanding general of 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, speaks with Marines assigned to VMA 223 while aboard the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), in the Philippine Sea, Feb. 16, 2025. This visit gave the Maj. Gen. an opportunity to discuss 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit operations and recognize the hard work and dedication of the Marines and sailors on patrol. The America Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), compromising amphibious assault carrier USS America (LHA 6), amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22), and amphibious dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47) along with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), are underway conducting routine integrated operations in U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. U.S. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward- deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operated with allies and partners to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
