Ford (CVN 78), oversees Sailors securing a pallet of supplies in the hangar bay during a replenishment-at-sea (RAS), April 4, 2025. The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is underway in the Atlantic Ocean completing integrated naval warfighting training. Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) is the Joint Force’s most complex integrated training event and prepares naval task forces for sustained high-end Joint and combined combat.
