POHANG, South Korea - High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicles with 3rd Marine Logistics Group are transported by an Improved Navy Lighterage System with the United States Naval Ship Dahl (T-AKR 312) in the background during a 3rd MLG instream offload operation as part of Freedom Banner 25 off the coast of Republic of Korea Marine Corps Base Pohang, South Korea, Feb. 28, 2025. The instream offload, a training evolution alongside Beachmaster Unit 1, Naval Beach Group 1, and the ROKMC Marine Logistics Group, refines and validates 3rd MLG’s ability to transport, offload and distribute vehicles and equipment from ship to shore without the use of a pier. This type of sealift capability allows the unit to maneuver equipment in austere environments without using established infrastructure, such as in locations following a natural disaster. Freedom Banner 25 is a Maritime Prepositioning Force exercise where 3rd MLG offloads equipment and provides support to III Marine Expeditionary Force units training throughout South Korea, testing and validating 3rd MLG’s ability to conduct integrated logistics operations in complex environments.
