PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 5, 2022) U.S. Air Force Maj. John Long, 353th Special Operations Wing liaison officer, prepares to enter the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) for a distinguished visitors visit during Exercise Noble Fusion, Feb. 5, 2022. Noble Fusion demonstrates that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed, stand-in naval expeditionary forces can rapidly aggregate Marine Expeditionary Unit/Amphibious Ready Group teams at sea, along with a carrier strike group, as well as other joint force elements and allies, in order to conduct lethal sea-denial operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of movement, and create advantage for U.S., partner, and allied forces. Naval expeditionary forces conduct training throughout the year, in the Indo-Pacific, to maintain readiness. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Jennessa Davey)
