    31st Marine Expeditionary Unit       

    A CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter carrying Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit's Maritime Raid Force flies away from Marine Corps Air Station Futenma during a military free-fall jump during simulated Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations, Okinawa, Japan, March 11, 2019. The Super Stallion belongs to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (Reinforced). Marines with the 31st MEU are conducting simulated EABO in a series of dynamic training events to refine their ability to plan, rehearse and complete a variety of missions. During EABO, the 31st MEU partnered with the 3rd Marine Division, 3rd Marine Logistics Group and 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, and airmen with the U.S. Air Force 353rd Special Operations Group, planning and executing training mission sets for military operations. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps' only continuously forward-deployed MEU partnering with the U.S. Navy's Amphibious Squadron 11, 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.
