EAST CHINA SEA (Feb. 5, 2022) Lt. j.g. Adrian Lozano, right, from Sioux City, Iowa, stands officer of the deck while Ensign Noah Spahr, from Deleware, Ohio, takes a bearing from the ship's centerline pelorus on the bridge aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey (DDG 105) while monitoring surface contacts in support of Exercise Noble Fusion. Noble Fusion demonstrates that Navy and Marine Corps forward-deployed stand-in naval expeditionary forces can rapidly aggregate Marine Expeditionary Unit/Amphibious Ready Group teams at sea, along with carrier strike group, joint forces and allies in order to conduct lethal sea-denial operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of movement, and create advantage for US, partner and allied forces. Naval Expeditionary forces conduct training throughout the year, in the Indo-Pacific, to maintain readiness. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Benjamin Lewis)
