U.S. Marines with Battalion Landing Team 1/5, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), load into a CH-53E Super Stallion with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Rein.), 31st MEU, after a helicopter raid during MEU exercise (MEUEX) on Ie Shima, Okinawa, Japan, Dec. 17, 2021. Exercises such as helicopter raids reinforce the Marine Corps doctrine of a ready-and-mobile force capable of quick-response action. MEUEX is a pre-deployment training exercise that validates and reinforces the MEU’s mission capabilities across all of the Marine subordinate elements. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premiere crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
