Chief Petty Officer Robert Ferrell, assigned to Fleet Surgical Team 7 aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Essex, carries bottled water designated for Sailors working at Medical and Dental Community Action Projects in the Kingdom of Cambodia. Essex and the embarked 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit are in Sihanoukville, Kingdom of Cambodia, for a scheduled port visit that gives Sailors and Marines the opportunity to participate in friendship-building community relations events, medical and dental projects and professional exchanges. Essex is the lead ship of the only forward-deployed U.S. Expeditionary Strike Group and serves as the flagship for Combined Task Force 76, the Navy's only forward-deployed amphibious force commander. CTF 76 is headquartered at White Beach Naval Facility in Okinawa, Japan, with a detachment in Sasebo, Japan.
