    USS Iwo Jima General Quarters Training Evolution

    ATLANTIC OCEAN (July 11, 2025) Damage Controlman 3rd Class Alejandro Saenz, from Las Cruces, New Mexico, assigned to the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), demonstrates how to read an air pressure gauge on a self-contained breathing apparatus during a general quarters training evolution. The Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and embarked 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) are underway executing Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), which tests the amphibious ready group’s ability to deliver combat power wherever the nation’s leadership requires, and is informed by U.S. Navy Fleet Commander requirements and assessment of ongoing operations around the globe. 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.
