U.S. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepare to offload cargo out of an Autonomous Low-Profile Vessel at Kin Red Training Area, Okinawa, Japan, Apr. 9, 2025.

The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward deployed MEU, provides a flexible and lethal force, ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premiere crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
