Part 1:
Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit are currently assisting in disaster relief efforts in the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam in the wake of Typhoon Mangkhut. The 31st MEU is the Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, providing a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military and humanitarian operations.

Also in the Corps,
