U.S. Marines assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 (VMM-161) conduct routine safety checks, fueling, and training flights with an MV-22 Osprey at Camp Lemonnier on July 28, 2025. The training is essential for maintaining operational readiness, ensuring safety and mastering their skills in a dynamic and high-stakes environment. VMM-161, which holds the distinction of being the first helicopter transport squadron in the world, provides assault support for the transport of combat troops, supplies, and equipment during expeditionary and joint operations.
Camp Lemonnier is an operational installation that enables U.S., allied and partner nation forces to be where they are needed to ensure security and protect U.S. interests. The installation provides world-class support for service members, transient U.S. assets and 36 local tenant commands. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Jerome Fjeld)
