U.S. Navy Beachmaster 1st Class Octavius Meadows, the Beach Party Team Commander with Beachmaster Unit 1, Naval Beach Group 1, speaks with Republic of Korea Marine Corps Sgt. Jihwan Song, an aviation crew chief augmenting the Landing Support Battalion, ROK Marine Logistics Group, during a 3rd Marine Logistics Group instream offload operation as part of Freedom Banner 25 at ROKMC Base Pohang, South Korea, Feb. 28, 2025. The instream offload, a training evolution alongside BMU1 and the ROKMC MLG, refines and validates 3rd MLG’s ability to transport, offload and distribute vehicles and equipment from ship to shore without the use of a pier. This type of sealift capability allows the unit to maneuver equipment in austere environments without using established infrastructure, such as in locations following a natural disaster. Freedom Banner 25 is a Maritime Prepositioning Force exercise where 3rd MLG offloads equipment and provides support to III Marine Expeditionary Force units training throughout South Korea, testing and validating 3rd MLG’s ability to conduct integrated logistics operations in complex environments.
