U.S. Marines with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), welcome members of the Department of State aboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), during Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), June 1, 2018, underway in the Pacific Ocean. The Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th MEU are conducting 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.
