A U.S. Navy ship provides supporting naval gunfire July 12 during part of a four-day joint live fire exercise in which Marines and sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit also participated. Marines and sailors of the 31st MEU were in Australia participating in exercise Talisman Sabre 2011. TS11 is the largest joint military exercise undertaken by the Australian defence force. Around 14,000 U.S. and 9,000 Australian personnel are participating. This exercise will increase interoperability, flexibility, and readiness, all of which are force multipliers in maintaining peace and stability in the Pacific. The 31st MEU is the only continuously forward-deployed MEU and remains the nation’s force in readiness in the Asia-Pacific region. (U.S. Marine photo by Lance Cpl. Garry J. Welch)
