MEUEX is the first in a series of pre-deployment training events that prepare the 31st MEU to deploy at a moment’s notice. As the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, the 31st MEU provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide range of military operations. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
