A Midshipman aboard the amphibious dock landing ship USS Carter Hall  handles the line that lowers a rigid-hull inflatable boat into the water. Carter Hall is part of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group participating in a Composite Unit Training Exercise off the East Coast of the United States. COMPTUEX is designed to provide realistic training environments that closely replicates the operational challenges routinely encountered during military operations around the world.
