August 2017 - Marine Attack Squadron
311 AV-8B Harriers fire the AGM-65E 'Maverick' missile
during the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit's Amphibious
Integration Training. The Maverick is a laser guided,
air-to-surface tactical missile designed to take out armored
targets and hardened structures. VMA-311 is concluding the
Harrier's 'farewell tour' with the 31st MEU as the force
transitions to the F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.
The 31st MEU partners with the
Navy’s Amphibious Squadron 11 to form the amphibious
component of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike
Group.
