U.S. Marines and Sailors travel to the USNS Lopez (T-AK 3010) by the ship’s tender boat to begin Maritime Prepositioning Force Exercise (MPFEX) 20, off the coast of Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island, Florida, Feb. 9, 2020. MPFEX 20 is a military exercise in which Marines and Sailors work together to offload and process military equipment from a single MPF ship, the USNS Lopez (T-AK 3010). The exercise is a rehearsal of the Marines and Sailors’ ability to conduct safe, efficient offloads while in a tactical environment while working in close coordination with their 2nd and 6th Fleet counterparts to enhance the rapid and scalable deployment of naval expeditionary forces in European theater.
