U.S. Navy sailors aboard the San Antonio-class transport docking ship USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19), stand in formation during the prayer at a U.S. Navy Chief promotion ceremony on the flight deck, Sept. 29, 2023. The Chief Petty Officer (CPO) selection is a six to eight-week period of scenario-based training that is required for a Sailor to earn the title “Chief.” Throughout this period CPO selectees and Marines face a number of physical, mental, and moral challenges aimed to strengthen their leadership. The USS Mesa Verde, assigned to the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and embarked 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (MEU(SOC)), under the command and control of Task Force 61/2, is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe area of operations, employed by U.S. Sixth Fleet to defend U.S., Allied and partner interests.
