PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 7, 2022) Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 3rd Class Bryan Sanchez, a native of Los Angeles, Calif., assigned to Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), signals to an MH-60S Sea hawk, attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 21, during flight operations in support of Noble Fusion, Feb. 7, 2022. Noble Fusion demonstrates that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed stand-in naval expeditionary forces can rapidly aggregate Marine Expeditionary Unit/Amphibious Ready Group teams at sea, along with a carrier strike group, as well as other joint force elements and allies, in order to conduct lethal sea-denial operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of movement, and create advantage for partner and allied forces. Naval Expeditionary forces conduct training throughout the year, in the Indo-Pacific, to maintain readiness. ( Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Isaak Martinez)
