ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 12, 2025) A landing craft air cushion, assigned to Assault Craft Unit 4 approaches the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) in preparation for Iwo Jima’s LCAC recovery operation while underway. Iwo Jima is conducting Surface Warfare Advanced Tactical Training, a rigorous multi-domain exercise designed to enhance warfighting effectiveness and interoperability. SWATT is led and assessed by the Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center and prepares the Iwo Jima Amphibious Readiness Group for deployment by sharpening its ability to operate in high-end maritime conflict scenarios. Iwo Jima is the flagship of the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group which is uniquely positioned to deter aggression, project power through presence abroad, and execute contingency missions with its integrated Marine Corps team in support of U.S. strategic interests.
