U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Jesse Floyd, a tiltrotor crew chief with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 363, Marine Rotational Force – Darwin 25.3, waits to board an MV-22B Osprey for night flight operations aboard the expeditionary sea base USS Miguel Keith (ESB 5) in the Philippine Sea, Sept. 3, 2025. For the first time in the rotation’s history, the MRF-D Marine Air-Ground Task Force's Aviation and Ground Combat Elements embarked aboard a U.S. Navy vessel to extend operational reach and provide flexible, combat-credible options across the Indo-Pacific. MRF-D is an annual six-month rotational deployment to enhance interoperability with the Australian Defence Force and allies and partners and provide a forward postured crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific. Floyd is a native of Iowa. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Angelina Sara)
