Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians, assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) 3, participate in a fast-rope exercise in the hangar bay of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) while underway in the Philippine Sea, June 1, 2026. The George Washington Carrier Strike Group (GWACSG) is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. George Washington is the U.S. Navy’s premiere forward-deployed aircraft carrier, a long-standing symbol of the United States’ commitment to maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific, while operating alongside allies and partners across the U.S. Navy’s largest numbered fleet.
