U.S. Marines assigned to the maritime raid force, 31st Marine Expeditionary
Unit, conduct visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) training aboard the USAV
Calaboza (LCU 2009) off the coast of Kin, Okinawa.
VBSS training consists of boarding
a vessel, systematically checking all compartments for enemy
personnel, weapons or contraband. The 31st MEU, the Marine
Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a
ready and lethal force ready to perform a wide range of
military operations as the premier crisis response force in
the Indo-Pacific.
