Marines and sailors man 50-caliber machine guns as part of the small caliber action team, or SCAT, on USS Carter Hall (LSD-50) during a strait passage exercise Dec. 13, 2016 at sea. The drill was a part of Amphibious Ready Group Marine Expeditionary Unit Exercise, or ARGMEUEX. The simulated strait passage pitted the ARG against a myriad of potential real-world threats such as small attack boats with armed personnel and fast moving aircraft overhead harassing the three Navy vessels. ARGMEUEX is a three-week training evolution intended to build upon previous relationships, thereby enhancing
