 The 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit of Amphibious Ready Group 3 aboard USS Anchorage recently conducted training in support of maritime security operations in Arda, Djibouti. We set up a beach operations group who receives all the vehicles coming off the ship and then puts them to a marshaling area. From the marshaling area, they'll begin setting up the camp and that's where we'll begin our operations from. The coordination between branches is imperative for accomplishing the mission and plays a key role in effective training. The Marine Corps is based off this. It's the blue-green team and amphibious operations from over the horizon and being on a deployment right now we need to stay sustained and keep a high level of readiness. Once the service support area is formed, the Marines will conduct mounted and vehicle patrol as well as live fire shooting. Senior Airman Anastasia Denman, Kempelman-Yay, Djibouti.
