PACIFIC OCEAN, Calif., -- Marines hurry to fold the blades on a CH-53E Super Stallion in preparation for the next aircraft, April 11, 2017. The 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit uses the air assets provided from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 (Reinforced) to transport personnel and equipment from ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore efficiently. The 15th MEU’s rapid ability to mobilize people and equipment makes the amphibious force uniquely postured to respond to any mission around the globe.
