North Arabia Gulf (July 7, 2004) -- A Landing Craft Air Cushion Vehicle
(LCAC) approaches a beach landing area while transporting elements of
the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) ashore from the amphibious
assault ship USS Belleau Wood (LHA 3). 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 Bart Bauer
