U.S. Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), and Navy Sailors, conduct UH-1Y Huey tactical offloads aboard the USS New Orleans (LPD 18) in the Philippine Sea, Aug. 19, 2021. Marines conducted tactical offloads in support of Noble Union to test maritime readiness and sustain operational procedures. Exercise Noble Union is part of 31st MEU’s Noble Series of exercises which are used to validate or invalidate the Family of Naval Concepts, develop techniques and procedures for the employment of MEU assets in support of sea denial and fleet maneuver, and inform future force design and experimentation efforts. The 31st MEU is operating aboard ships of the America Expeditionary Strike Group in the 7th fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with allies and partners, and serve as a ready response force to defend peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
