Forney Native Serves Aboard USS Essex in Support of Noble Fusion

Air Traffic Controlman 2nd Class Cameron Martin, a native of Forney, Texas, assigned to Tactical Air Control Squadron (TACRON) 11, stands watch aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) in support of Noble Fusion, Feb. 7, 2022. 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 a carrier strike group, as well as other joint force elements and allies, in order to conduct lethal sea-denial operations, seize key maritime terrain, guarantee freedom of movement, and create advantage for U.S. 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 2nd Class Wesley Richardson)
