Sailors from USS New Orleans transported the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, German Army, and Japanese Self-Defense Forces Service Members ashore via landing craft air cushion operation as a part of Talisman Sabre 23 at Midge Point, Australia on July 25, 2023. Amphibious operations provide a Combined-Joint Force Commander the capability to rapidly project power ashore in support of crisis response at the desired time and location. The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit is continuously forward-deployed and provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations. (U.S. Army Photo by Staff Sgt.
