Marines with the Maritime Raid Force of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit observe incoming vessels during a simulated strait transit aboard San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock USS Anchorage (LPD 23). The Essex Amphibious Ready Group and 13th MEU are fully integrating for the first time before their summer deployment. Amphibious Squadron, MEU integration training is a crucial pre-deployment exercise that allows the Navy-Marine Corps team to rapidly plan and execute complex operations from Naval shipping.
