PACIFIC OCEAN, Calif., – A CH-53E Super Stallion from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 161 (Reinforced) attached to the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit is folded up and moved into the hanger bay on the USS San Diego (LPD-22) for routine maintenance, April 10, 2017. The 15th MEU uses the air assets provided from VMM-161 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.
