U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Samuel DiBenedetto, an anti-tank missileman with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, tightens a pair of flexi cuffs during detainee handling training on the Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship USS Fort McHenry (LSD-43). The training gave Marines a practical application skillset in handling and searching captives. Marines and Sailors with the 22nd MEU and Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group are currently deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.
