Marines and Sailors with the 31st Marine Expeditionary

Marines and Sailors with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the Navy’s Amphibious Squadron 11 grill food during a “Steel Beach” picnic on the flight deck of the USS Green Bay (LPD-20), while underway in the Pacific Ocean, March 30, 2018. During “Steel Beach” the 31st MEU Marines and the Green Bay’s crew paused from their regular underway routine to rest, relax and build comradery as a Marine Corps-Navy team. The 31st MEU partners with PHIBRON 11 to form the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, a cohesive blue-green team capable of accomplishing a variety of missions across the Indo-Pacific.
