Cpl. Cody Potts, a Sious City, Iowa, native and low altitude air defense gunner, loads the Stinger Launch Simulator on the flight deck of the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) during short range air defense engagements practice, Sept. 9, 2017. The mock missile simulates the FIM-92 Stinger missile used to defend the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s forward positions from air attack. LAAD detachment is attached to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, 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.
