U.S. Marines and Sailors with the 26th Marine Expeditionary

U.S. Marines and Sailors with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) participate in a simulated Non-combatant Evacuation Operation (NEO) during Combined Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) at Camp Lejeune, N.C., Nov. 12, 2017. COMPTUEX allows all elements of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) to join and train in realistic scenarios so the MEU as a whole can meet its Pre-Deployment Training Program (PTP) objectives prior to their upcoming deployment at sea.
