"The ARG-MEU combo is the most versatile, flexible and lethal global response force the United States has to offer. It has the potent ability to strike from range and return to the sea without the need to access resources on foreign land."
"The highlight of the ARG deployed from San Diego is the assault ship USS Boxer, an 844-foot amphibious ship that can function as an aircraft carrier for F-35B stealth fighters."
The USS Boxer and two other ships from San Diego, carrying over 2,000 Marines, are heading to the Middle East. This deployment aims to assist in reopening the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping. The Marines trained at Camp Pendleton before their departure. The USS Boxer, part of an Amphibious Ready Group, is equipped to function as an aircraft carrier and can conduct operations from sea without relying on foreign land resources. The ARG-MEU is described as a highly versatile and lethal response force.
