ATLANTIC OCEAN – A bipartisan Senate Staff Delegation witnessed the critical importance of amphibious readiness and naval integration firsthand during the Amphibious Squadron 8 (PHIBRON 8) and 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit's (MEU) Integration (PMINT) exercise, held off the coast of Virginia and North Carolina from April 4-5, 2025. The delegation, comprised of Senate Military Legislative Assistants, Military, Defense and National Security Advisors, observed the complex coordination required to unite the air, ground and logistics elements of the 22nd MEU with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group (IWO ARG). The IWO ARG consists of its flagship, the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) and the two San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ships USS San Antonio (LPD 17) and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28).
