ARABIAN GULF (Oct. 5, 2015) Marines with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Maritime Raid Force execute pushups before they fire during a deck shoot aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2). These Marines fatigued their bodies prior to shooting to simulate a combat environment. The 15th MEU, embarked aboard the ships of the Essex Amphibious Ready Group, is deployed to maintain regional security in the 5th Fleet area of operations. ( Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
