PACIFIC OCEAN (May 4, 2017) - Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Ian Tate fires a .50 caliber machine gun at a remote controlled target aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Sampson (DDG 102) during a Group Sail training unit exercise (GRUSL) with the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group (TRCSG). GRUSL is the first step in Sampson’s integrated training phase and aims to enhance mission-readiness and warfighting capabilities between the ships, airwing and the staffs of the TRCSG through simulated real-world scenarios.
