ATLANTIC OCEAN (May 28, 2025) Sailors and Marines onboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) participate in a simulated non-combatant evacuation operation (NEO) in preparation for their upcoming deployment. The combined Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) team’s ability to conduct a NEO is one of its most critical missions which ensures the rapid evacuation of U.S. citizens and designated personnel from potentially hostile environments around the globe. The Iwo Jima ARG-MEU team is underway executing ARGMEUEX which prepares integrated naval task forces for sustained, high-end Joint and combined combat. Integrated naval training provides combatant commanders and the Commander-in-Chief highly capable forces that deter adversaries, underpin American security and economic prosperity, and reassure Allies and partners.
