A boatswain's mate with The Boxer Amphibious Ready Group (BOXARG) directs the crew of a Landing Craft, Air Cushions (LCAC) to hold position and power down their engines using arm signals during well deck operations on Oct. 19, 2015, as part of Composite Training Unit (COMPTUEX) Exercise. The watercrafts provide the MEU with amphibious mobility and flexibility when moving from ship-to-ship or ship-to-shore. COMPTUEX provides the BOXARG/ 13th MEU the opportunity to integrate planning while also allowing focused, mission-specific training and evaluation for the Marines and their Navy counterparts
