ATLANTIC OCEAN (April 5, 2025) Cpl. Devin Conners uses a 10K forklift to lift a QUADCON unit off of a 7-ton AMK 23 medium tactical vehicle replacement, assigned to Assault Craft Unit 2, in the well deck of the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) during operations involving a Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC). Fort Lauderdale is underway 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’s 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, Iwo Jima, and the San Antonio-class Landing Dock Ships USS San Antonio (LPD 17) 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.
