GULF OF TADJOURA (May 8, 2021) U.S. Navy Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Jonghyun Lee, from Buenos
Aires, Argentina, assigned to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron Eleven (MESRON-11), loads
ammunition into a M2 machine gun during a live-fire sustainment training conducted off the coast of
Arta Range, May 08, 2021. In order to keep their gun qualifications, once every six months, crew
members are required to hit a target from 300 yards out while idling on the 34-foot Dauntless-class
patrol boat.
The Maritime Expeditionary Security Forces protect U.S. ships around the clock in port, or while
transiting into harbors around the world. MESRON-11 is stationed at Camp Lemonnier and covers traffic
in and around the Port of Djibouti.
As per the SECNAV Memo of 4 March 2021, the use of masks aboard the patrol boats is relaxed due to
the high-risk nature of operations, specifically in this photo the need for clear, audible and unrestricted
visualization of verbal communication required for safe and effective operations. (U.S. Navy photo by
Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Randi Brown)
