From ship to ship: replenishment at sea
AT SEA -- The USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) refuels and receives supplies during a replenishment at sea in the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 12, 2016. During replenishments at sea, Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopters ferry food and supplies from Navy supply ships to the ships of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group. The 31st MEU is the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed Marine Air-Ground Task Force, and combines air-ground-logistics into a single team capable of addressing a range of military operations in the Asia-Pacific region – from force protection and maritime security to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief in cooperation with host countries and partner militaries.
