U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II aircraft, assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 542, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing conduct carrier qualifications aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) during the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Type Commander’s Amphibious Training (TCAT), off the coast of North Carolina, June 11, 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.
