An aviation boatswain’s mate with the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) signals a naval aviator during flight operations underway in the Philippine Sea, Jan. 23, 2019. Aviation boatswain’s mates wear distinctive, bright yellow shirts and use a variety of hand and arm signals to communicate with naval aviators and deck crew during flight operations. Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (Reinforced) and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 comprise the Aviation Combat Element for the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. Its naval aviators fly the MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and the F-35B Lightning II attack jet. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU partnering with the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
