During the DATF drill, the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group and 31st MEU team assumed a security posture to simulate traveling through potentially dangerous waters. Wasp, flagship of the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, with embarked 31st MEU, is operating in the Indo-Pacific region to enhance interoperability with partners and serve as ready-response force for any type of contingency, while simultaneously providing a flexible and lethal crisis response force ready to perform a wide range of military operations.
