Marines and sailors aboard the USS Wasp brace themselves against the rotor-wash of a MV-22B Osprey from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 266 as it lands on the ship's flight deck, Jan. 31. The Osprey brought Marines along with supplies to support Exercise Bold Alligator 2012. This exercise, the largest naval amphibious exercise in the past 10 years, represents the Navy and Marine Corps’ revitalization of the full range of amphibious operations. The exercise focuses on today’s fight with today’s forces, while showcasing the advantages of seabasing. This exercise will take place Jan. 30-Feb. 12, 2012 afloat and ashore in and around Virginia and North Carolina.
