Lance Cpl. Socheata Chan, an administration clerk with the Command Element, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), talks about the purpose of a female engagement team aboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2), while underway in the Pacific Ocean, June 4, 2018. The Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th MEU are conducted Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), the final exercise before the units' upcoming deployment. This exercise validates the ARG/MEU team's ability to adapt and execute missions in ever-changing, unknown environments. Upon completion of COMPTUEX, the 13th MEU and Essex ARG will be certified as the nation's premier forward-deployed, crisis response force, capable of executing missions across the broad spectrum of military operations.
