USS BONHOMME RICHARD, At sea – Landing support specialists

USS BONHOMME RICHARD, At sea – Landing support specialists wait for a UH-1Y Huey attached to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, to drop off a load of tires during a helicopter support team exercise Feb. 6 on the flight deck of the USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6). This was the first time the Marines performed an HST exercise aboard a ship. The Marines are with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st MEU, and are currently deployed in support of the annually-scheduled Spring Patrol of the Asia-Pacific region.
