PHILIPPINE SEA (June 12, 2022) Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Malcolm Kelley, from Tacoma, Washington, takes a photo on the flight deck of amphibious assault carrier USS Tripoli (LHA 7) during a photo exercise for Valiant Shield 2022, June 12, 2022. Exercises like VS22 allow forces across the Indo-Pacific the opportunity to integrate Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force and Space Force to train in precise, lethal, and overwhelming multi-axis, multi-domain effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Joint Force. Tripoli is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with allies and partners and serve as a ready response force to defend peace and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
