A 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit Marine with Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, sleeps on the ramp of the USS New York while waiting to conduct an amphibious assault exercise, Oct. 26, 2014. The entire contingent of Marines from the BLT disembarked from the New York to participate in the assault, the final event of the MEU’s pre-deployment training before their deployment at the end of the year.
