Marines prepare to discharge static electricity with a hand-held discharge device before attaching the hoist sling of an AV-8B Harrier jet engine container to an MV-22 Osprey on the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8). The engine is being transported to the Military Sealift Command dry cargo/ammunition ship USNS Amelia Earhart (T-AKE 6) during a replenishment-at-sea. Makin Island is the flagship of the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group and, with the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, is deployed in support of maritime and theater security operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
