CAMP HANSEN, Okinawa, Japan (March 27, 2020) Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), prepare to establish a forward arming and refueling point (FARP) beside an AH-1Z Viper helicopter with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 (Reinforced) during a FARP exercise. During the evolution, the MEU's Combined Anti-Armor Team conducted a ship to shore movement from amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) before securing a landing zone for the FARP. America, flagship of the America Expeditionary Strike Group, 31st MEU team, is operating in the U.S. 7th fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with allies and partners and serve as a ready response force to defend peace and stability in the Indo Pacific region.
