A target sits atop an aircraft elevator aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) after use by the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s low altitude air defense detachment, currently underway in the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 7, 2017. LAAD gunners use the FIM-92 Stinger missile to defend the 31st MEU’s forward positions from air attack. LAAD is with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), a part of the Aviation Combat Element of the 31st MEU. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy's Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group, providing a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
