North Arabia Gulf (July 7, 2004) -- A Landing Craft Utility (LCU)
returns to the well deck aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Belleau
Wood (LHA 3) while transporting elements of the 11th Marine
Expeditionary Unit (MEU) ashore in Kuwait. The Belleau Wood
Expeditionary Strike Group 3 (ESG-3) provides Fleet and Joint Force
Commanders with a readily available, configurable force, capable of
projecting power from the sea beyond the littorals through the defeat
of anti-access strategies. CESG-3 further prepares for Expeditionary
Strike Force (ESF) operations, establishment of small scale Joint Task
Force (JTF) headquarters and for the conduct of multi-national
operations. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 1st Class Alan
