A working party of Marines and Sailors stage incoming mail by forming a human chain in the hangar bay of the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer. The staging and sorting of mail usually takes from three to five hours. Boxer is deployed as part of Boxer Amphibious Readiness Group/13th Marine Expeditionary Unit supporting Maritime Security Operations in the Navy's 5th fleet area of operations. MSO help develop security in the maritime environment and compliment the counterterrorism and security efforts of regional nations. From security arises stability that results in global economic prosperity. These operations seek to disrupt violent extremists' use of the maritime environment to transport personnel and weapons or serve as a venue for attack.
