 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Stuart Phillips. These are your headlines from around the fleet. A US Marine Corps helicopter assigned to the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEW, crashed at sea in the Gulf of Aden as it attempted to land aboard USS Mesa Verde September 1. The 25 personnel aboard the CH-53E Super Stallion were safely recovered and are currently aboard USS Mesa Verde. The cause of the crash is under investigation. SecDef ordered the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group and the 22nd MEW to remain in the fifth fleet area of responsibility until October. The 21-day extension will ensure continuous physical presence in the Arabian Gulf and support for potential tasking. The Bataan ARG and 22nd MEW will conduct a face-to-face turnover with the USS Macon Island ARG in 11th MEW and return to their home port of Norfolk.
