A UH-1Y Venom helicopter from Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, completes a close air support mission during a four-day, live-fire exercise following the conclusion of Talisman Saber 13 here, Aug 3. The live-fire exercise included the coordination of fire-support assets from the 31st MEU; the USS Chung-Hoon, an Arleigh Burke-class AEGIS destroyer; the HMAS Perth III, an ANZAC Class frigate; and the Australian Army. The exercise provided effective and intense training to ensure U.S. and Australian forces are capable, interoperable, deployable on short notice and combat ready. The 31st MEU is the Marine Corps' force in readiness for the Asia Pacific region and the only continuously forward-deployed MEU.
