    Freedom Banner 25: Instream Offload

    U.S. Marine Corps Maritime Prepositioning Force assets from the United States Naval Ship Dahl (T-AKR 312) are transported to shore via an Improved Navy Lighterage System (INLS) Causeway Ferry, a key asset of the MPF arsenal. This modular system enables efficient ship-to-shore movement (STSM) of large volumes of cargo during Freedom Banner 25 at the Republic of Korea Marine Corps Base Pohang, South Korea.

    Freedom Banner 25, the first phase of the Korean Marine Exchange Program (KMEP) 25.1, enhances U.S.-Republic of Korea (ROK) interoperability and validates Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) operations to sustain forces in austere environments. Led by the 3rd Marine Logistics Group, the exercise focuses on offloading prepositioned equipment from MPF ships—pre-loaded in Jacksonville, Florida, by Blount Island Command—through both instream and pier-side offloads to support the III Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) training in South Korea. These logistics operations refine expeditionary sustainment capabilities, ensuring forces can rapidly deploy and operate in contested environments while supporting Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). As the exercise concludes, forces will transition to Freedom Shield 25, further strengthening regional security and readiness.
