On the flight deck of the USS WASP, the ship's SH-60 helicopter takes
off as a AV-8B Harrier from HMM-266 (Rein), the aviation combat element
of the 22d Marine Expeditionary Unit sits in the background. In
the water, an landing craft air-cushion (LCAC) ferries personnel and
supplies to the ship. The MEU recently completed Type Commander's
Amphbious Training (TCAT), the first of four at-sea training periods
prior to the unit's deployment early next year.
