U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Ethan Durham, a CH-53E Super Stallion pilot assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 163 (Reinforced), 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), performs a pre-flight system check on the cockpit of a CH-53E Super Stallion on the flight deck of San Antonio-class transport dock ship USS Portland (LPD 27), April 24, 2026. Portland, part of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), and elements of the 11th MEU, 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.
