U.S. Marines and Sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, assess a simulated casualty during a mass casualty exercise aboard the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), in the Philippine Sea, Feb. 14, 2025. The ability to respond to a mass casualty event is a core mission of the 31st MEU that requires rapid response to effectively recover and triage military or civilian casualties by supplementing the medical resources at the scene. The America Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), compromising amphibious assault carrier USS America (LHA 6), amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22), and amphibious dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47) along with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), are underway conducting routine integrated operations in U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. U.S. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward- deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operated with allies and partners to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
