U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Mason Hendricks, a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense specialist with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, removes contaminated clothing from a simulated casualty during a chemical decontamination training aboard the USS America (LHA 6), in the Coral Sea, June 25, 2025. Marines and Sailors conducted a simulated CBRN decontamination training exercise as a crucial preparedness measure for the potentially contested environment of the Indo-Pacific Region. The 31st MEU is operating aboard ships of the USS America Amphibious Ready Group in the 7th Fleet area of operations, 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. Hendricks is a native of South Carolina. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Gerardo Mendez)
