Bonhomme Richard is the flagship of its expeditionary strike group, which is supporting a CERTEX that will evaluate the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (31st MEU) on crisis response operations for a number of potential contingencies. CERTEX will test the 31st MEU’s ability to conduct all of its core missions such as stability operations, non-combatant evacuation and disaster relief.
