260616-N-UR098-1046 ATLANTIC OCEAN (June 16, 2026) An AH-1Z Viper, assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron (HMLA) 269, prepares to land on the flight deck of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), June 16, 2026. Kearsarge is conducting Type Commander’s Amphibious Training (TCAT), a military exercise designed to enhance mobility and integration between the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy. The amphibious force is an integrated powerhouse providing sea, land, and air operations, giving geographic combatant commanders a more flexible, and agile force for aggregated or dis-aggregated operations across the globe.
