    A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter belonging to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25 prepares to land during flight operations aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), underway in the East China Sea, Jan. 24, 2019. Naval aviators with HSC-25, along with their crew of rescue swimmers, fly constantly during flight operations aboard the Wasp – 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.
