ATLANTIC OCEAN - (July 7, 2025) Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Jason Carpenter (left), and Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Youssef Belakbir, assigned to the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84), signal the pilots of the MH-60S Seahawk, attached to the “Griffins” of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 79, during flight operations. USS Bulkeley is underway in the Atlantic Ocean with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) participating in Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX). COMPTUEX is the Department of the Navy’s commitment to deliver highly capable, integrated naval forces to promote our nation’s prosperity and security, deter aggression, and provide tailorable options to our nation’s leaders. COMPTUEX also allows the Navy to assess all aspects of prior readiness generation activities, which provides leaders information needed for process and resource allocation decisions for future warfighting development.
