170710-N-UX013-1029 CORAL SEA (July 10, 2017) Sailors disconnect a cargo-drop real to move supplies aboard the amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD 48) during a connected replenishment (CONREP) with the Henry J. Kaiser-class fleet replenishment oiler USNS John Ericsson (T-AO 194) as part of Talisman Saber 17. Ashland, part of a combined U.S.-Australia-New Zealand expeditionary strike group, is undergoing a series of scenarios that will increase naval proficiencies in operating against blue-water adversarial threats and in its primary mission of launching Marine forces ashore in the littorals. Talisman Saber is a biennial U.S.-Australia bilateral exercise held off the coast of Australia meant to achieve interoperability and strengthen the U.S.-Australia alliance.
