Sailors assigned to San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS Portland (LPD 27), lower a rigid-hulled inflatable boat into the water off the boat deck, April 23, 2026. Portland, part of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), and elements of the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, are providing vital defense support to civil authorities, contributing to crisis response and recovery efforts in the wake of Super Typhoon Sinlaku. In supporting FEMA and local governments, the Boxer ARG fills critical capability gaps to enable restoration of essential services by civil authorities.
