31st Marine Expeditionary Unit
Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit’s low altitude air defense detachment fire an M240B medium machine gun during marksmanship training on the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) while underway in the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 6, 2017. LAAD gunners use the FIM- 92 Stinger missile to defend the 31st MEU’s forward positions from air attack. LAAD is with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), a part of the Aviation Combat Element of the 31st MEU. The 31st MEU partners with the Navy's Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group, providing a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
