 The Kiersarge Amphibious Ready Group deployed Monday, March 11th, in support of operations in the U.S. Fifth and Sixth Fleet areas of responsibility. The Kiersarge ARG and 2-6-MU team, this is our first deployment together since we got back in May 2011. The Kiersarge ARG consists of Amphibious Assault Ship USS Kiersarge, Amphibious Dock Landing Ship USS Carter Hall, Amphibious Transport Dock USS San Antonio, and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, all operating under Amphibious Squadron 4. This will be the second full-length deployment for the San Antonio. With the San Antonio, they're gone most of the time anyway, so I've kind of adjusted to them being out to sea a lot, but I'm also excited for them. I know they've been preparing for a long time, so I think they're just ready to go for it. Reporting from Naval Station Norfolk, I'm Petty Officer, Scott Pittman.
