U.S. Navy Capt. Brian Hamel, the Amphibious Squadron (PHIBRON) 4 Commander, U.S. Marine Corps Col. Michael Stansberry, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit commanding officer and Sgt. Maj. Daniel Haber, 26th MEU sergeant major disembark a CH-53K King Stallion assigned to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 461 (HMH-461) during 26th MEU’s Type Commanders Amphibious Training (TCAT) while off the coast of North Carolina, June 9, 2026. TCAT is a military exercise designed to enhance mobility and integration between the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy. The amphibious force is an integrated powerhouse providing sea, land, and air operations, giving geographic combatant commanders a more flexible, agile force for aggregated or dis-aggregated operations across the globe.
