Olyn Ruiz, an aviation electronic technician with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 166 Reinforced, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), conducts maintenance on an MV-22B Osprey aboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), June 8, 2018, underway in the Pacific Ocean. The Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th MEU are conducting Composite Unit Training 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.
