INDIAN OCEAN (July 20, 2015) Combat cargo Marines carry a simulated casualty into a triage area aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2). Combat cargo Marines offloaded simulated casualties from an aircraft and brought them to the Essex’s medical staff for further care. Elements of the 15th MEU, based out of Camp Pendleton, California, and embarked aboard the Essex, are conducting naval operations in the 6th Fleet area of operations in support of national security interests in Europe and Africa.
