Christopher Blalock (left) the executive officer of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) discuss the new capabilities that the F-35B brings to the 13th MEU at Naval Air Facility El Centro, California, June 9, 2018. The Essex Amphibious Ready Group (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.
