A U.S. Marine with Force Reconnaissance Platoon, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), sights into his M1110 semi-automatic sniper system to provide security while a CH-53E Super Stallion reaches a landing zone for Marines with the Battalion Landing Team, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines (BLT 3/5), to conduct a Maritime Interdiction Operation (MIO) training exercise in the East China Sea, June 14, 2021. The MIO consisted of Force Reconnaissance Marines fast roping on to the USS New Orleans (CA-31) and executing a search and seizure scenario. Marines with the BLT 3/5 provided support as the security element for the Force Reconnaissance Marines. The 31st MEU is operating aboard ships of the America Amphibious Ready Group in the 7th fleet area of operation to enhance interoperability with allies and partners and serve as a ready response force to defend peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
