Major Benajmin Watson (center), assistant operations officer, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, stands with other staff members from the 15th MEU. Watson is part of an exchange program enabling him to serve in a Marine Corps unit for two years. The intent of the exchange program is to help build maturity in Australia’s amphibious program by providing maritime operational planning experience to its officers. The 15th MEU is deployed as part of the Peleliu ARG as a U.S. Central Command theater reserve force, providing support for maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
