ATLANTIC OCEAN (June 25, 2025) Sailors and Marines assigned to the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) conduct small boat operations in a 7-meter rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB). Fort Lauderdale is underway conducting Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and embarked 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). COMPTUEX 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.
