PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 7, 2022) Sailors assigned to the forward-deployed amphibious dock landing ship USS Ashland (LSD 48) and Marines assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) conduct landing craft, utility operations in the ship’s well deck as part of joint exercise Noble Fusion. 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 sea-denial, 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. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Michael Doan)
