An MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 166 Reinforced, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), receives commands from a Navy aviation Boatswain’s mate with the Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), during flight operations aboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), June 1, 2018, underway in the Pacific Ocean. The Essex ARG and 13th MEU are 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.
