Logistics specialists aboard the U.S. Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington hook a bundle of nets onto an SH-60 Sea Hawk helicopter from the Chargers of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 14 while an air crewman looks on during a vertical replenishment with the Military Sealift Command dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Alan Shepard. Ships and aircraft of the George Washington and USS John C. Stennis carrier strike groups are exercising to hone their collective interoperability, readiness, and the capability to respond quickly to potential crises in the region, ranging from combat operations to humanitarian assistance missions. As two of the Navy's 11 global force carrier strike groups, the strike groups are further ensuring security, stability and peace in the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. Navy is reliable, flexible, and ready to respond worldwide on, above, and below the sea. Join the conversation on social media using #warfighting.
