Roughly 10,000 U.S. Marines and sailors are in the midst of a final exam of sorts.
Marine Logistics Group, 1 Marine Expeditionary Force and the U.S. Navy’s Expeditionary Strike Group 3 are participating in the exercise.
Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Ben Watson said they’re practicing to either deter someone from moving forward or to push someone back. “What we’re doing here is training to make sure that we’re absolutely prepared to do that,” said the 1Marine Division’s Commanding General. “This is putting together some parts that don’t work together all the time.”
“[We’re] continuing to refine the way we plan together; we cooperate and coordinate together,” added Navy Capt. Jennifer Ellinger. “There’s nothing finer than this Navy/Marine Corps team.”Maj. Gen. Watson said most of the participants in Steel Knight would likely be deployed next year to the Western Pacific.Maj. Gen. Watson singled out China as a particular concern for the United States.
