ATLANTIC OCEAN – The modern battlespace demands agility, adaptability, and an unyielding pursuit of technological advantage. In a strategic leap forward, the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) redefined maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) during the Iwo Jima (IWO) Amphibious Ready Group Marine Expeditionary Unit exercise (ARGMEUEX), held off the east coast from May 12 to May 29, 2025. This exercise, involving the USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) and the USS San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ships USS San Antonio (LPD 17) and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), saw the first-ever flight of the JUMP 20 Group 3 uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) aboard a San Antonio-class amphibious warship, marking a pivotal moment in the 22nd MEU's evolution and enhancing its operational readiness and lethality.
