Marine Fires Stinger On USS Boxer September 30, 2024 September 26, 2024 - U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Sean Longua, a low-altitude air defense gunner assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 165 (Reinforced), 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, with a Stinger Trainer Launch Simulator aboard, points to a target area and then fires the Stinger on the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4) in the East China Sea, as his fellow Marine observes. Boxer and embarked elements of the 15th MEU are conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
