Naval aviators assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 121, the fixed-wing component of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Aviation Combat Element, conduct take-off and landings during fixed-wing flight operations in the Marine Corps’ newest, most advanced multi-role fighter, the F-35B. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU partnering with the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group, provides a flexible and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
