 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. These are your headlines from around the fleet. The Baton Amphibious Ready Group, or ARG, and 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit returned from a nine-month deployment at the end of October. During the deployment, the Baton ARG conducted maritime security operations, theater security cooperation, and provided a forward naval presence in the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation. Canadian, Japanese, and U.S. ships completed a two-week-long past group exercise, or TGEX October 31st off the coast of Southern California. The exercise was led by U.S. 3rd Fleet, who conducted and evaluated training across multiple warfare areas. Joint operations like TGEX strengthen U.S. 3rd Fleet's ability to respond to crises and protect the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners.
