INDIAN OCEAN – A CH-53E Super Stallion with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Aviation Combat Element takes flight aboard the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6), Aug. 29, 2017. The CH-53E Super Stallion is the Marine Corps’ primary heavy lift helicopter, compact enough to deploy on amphibious assault ships, and has the armament, speed and agility to lead combat loaded Marines on an assault or humanitarian operation. The 15th MEU and America Amphibious Ready Group are operating in the 7th Fleet area of operations to enhance partnerships and serve as a ready-response capability for any type of contingency.
