SAN DIEGO (July 20, 2023) – Capt. Thomas J. Zerr, Chief of Staff, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet, right, speaks with midshipmen during a planned group photo to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Naval Beach Group One. The need for a single organization dedicated to the support of amphibious operations was recognized as a result of experience gained during the island-hopping campaigns of World War II. The decision to consolidate amphibious assault assets led to the establishment of Naval Beach Group One in July 1948. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Stevin Atkins)
