Hospital Corpsman Christopher Marroquin, from Miami, poses for a photo in the Dental Department aboard the Navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). “As soon as I knew that I could be of assistance I just resorted back to what I learned from my trainings a corpsman,” said Marroquin. “It was like second nature.” Ronald Reagan, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 5, provides a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
