Sailors assigned to the wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Boxer, along with embarked elements of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, returned to homeport in San Diego and Camp Pendleton after a deployment to the U.S. 7th and 3rd fleet areas of operations.
During deployment, more than 2,500 sailors and Marines participated in a wide range of joint exercises and provided foreign disaster support.
“The tactical expertise, professionalism, and stealth of the sailors and Marines who make up our amphibious force team is unmatched, and that was proven time and time again throughout our deployment to the 7th Fleet area of operations,” said U.S. Navy Capt. Tate Robinson, commodore of Amphibious Squadron 5.
