Antonio Banuelos, an infantry Marine with Battalion Landing Team 3/1, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), tightens a chain while at sea aboard the Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47), May 30, 2018. The Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th MEU is conducting Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), the final exercise before the units’ upcoming deployment. This exercise validates the ARG/MEU team’s ability to adapt and execute missions in ever-changing, unknown environments. Upon completion of COMPTUEX, the 13th MEU and Essex ARG will be certified as the nation’s premier forward-deployed, crisis response force, capable of executing missions across the broad spectrum of military operations.
