Cpl. Dustin B. Maldonado throws a football during a “Steel Beach” atop the flight deck of the amphibious transport dock USS Green Bay (LPD 20), underway in the East China Sea, Feb. 4, 2019. Maldonado, a native of Bakersfield, California and a machine gunner with Weapons Company, Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, graduated Stockdale High School in May 2015 before enlisting in December 2016. The “Steel Beach” was an opportunity for Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the crew of the Green Bay to take a breather during operations. 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.
