250410-N-YU102-1068 ATLANTIC OCEAN (April 10, 2025) Capt. Christopher M. Farricker, Commander, Amphibious Squadron 8, middle, and Col. Thomas N. Trimble, Commanding Officer, 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, right, exit a CH-53 Super Stallion for a tour of the USS San Antonio (LPD 17), April 10. San Antonio is with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group conducting Amphibious Squadron Marine Expeditionary Unit Integration Training (PMINT), designed to test the capabilities of the IWO ARG and 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit as a fully-integrated expeditionary force. PMINT gives the Navy-Marine Corps team a unique opportunity to strengthen partnerships and interoperability before deployment. The IWO ARG consists of its flagship, the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), and the San Antonio-class Landing Dock ships USS San Antonio and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28). The IWO ARG—in concert with its integrated 22nd MEU team—deters aggression, projects power through presence abroad, and executes contingency missions in support of U.S. strategic interests around the world.
