Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Christopher Mechura directs Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit riding in Combat Rubber Raiding Crafts into the well deck of amphibious dock landing ship USS Tortuga (LSD 46) during Amphibious Integrated Training exercise. Amphibious Integration Training provides the initial opportunity for the Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group to conduct operational maneuvering from sea to shore before supporting multilateral exercises, contingency operations, or humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions. Tortuga, commanded by Cmdr. John Barnett, is part of the only forward-deployed amphibious ready group and is currently operating in the 7th Fleet Area of Operations.
