An AV-8B Harrier sits on the flight deck aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) before launching during nighttime flight operations, June 10, 2017. The Harrier belongs to Marine Attack Squadron 311 (VMA-311). Marine aviators with VMA-311 and Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), which combine to form the Aviation Combat Element of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, refined their nighttime takeoff and landing capabilities during the training. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy’s Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the amphibious component of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group. The 31st MEU and PHIBRON 11 combine to provide a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
