U.S. Indo-Pacific Command announced this week that the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, comprised of over 500 U.S. Marines and Navy sailors, and the America Amphibious Ready Group completed their first patrol of 2025 as a “ready-response force.”
In a Tuesday press release, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said the “routine patrol,” which was coordinated by the U.S. Corps Forces, Pacific and the U.S. Pacific Fleet, “served to maintain a consistent presence in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.”
“Throughout our time at sea, we have remained on plan and on target conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area to enhance interoperability with our allies and partners,” Capt. Patrick German, commander of Amphibious Squadron 11, said. “Together, we continued to serve cohesively as a ready-response force to defend peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”
According to the press release, the America Amphibious Ready Group patrol included the USS San Diego, an amphibious transport dock ship; the USS America, an amphibious assault ship; and the USS Rushmore, a dock landing ship. The USS New Orleans transport dock ship also “briefly” joined the patrol of ships while “conducting routine operations,” according to the press release.
