NASA astronaut Victor Glover points at crew members on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026. John P. Murtha is underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations supporting NASA’s Artemis II mission, retrieving the crew and spacecraft following their return to Earth and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a flight around the moon in the Orion space craft, marking the first time humans journeyed to deep space in over 50 years.

SAN DIEGO

After supporting the successful recovery of NASA’s Artemis II crew and the Orion spacecraft, U.S. Navy personnel, assigned to various expeditionary medicine teams, pose for a group photo aboard the amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), April 11. The teams, which included En-Route Care System (ERCS) 2, 3, and 11, and Expeditionary Resuscitative Surgical System 14 (ERSS), comprised personnel from Navy Medicine commands and military medical treatment facilities across the Pacific Rim. The ERCS is a two-person team that provides medical care during transport of critically injured or ill stabilized patients via ground, surface, or air, and the ERSS is a seven-person mobile surgical and trauma team that provides life and limb-saving care close to the point of injury. Pictured from left are: Lt. Cmdr. Martin Manoukian, an emergency medicine physician with ERSS-14, assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Camp Pendleton and Naval Hospital (NH) Camp Pendleton; Lt. Cmdr. Kristine Parra, a general surgeon with ERSS-14, from NMRTC/NH Camp Pendleton; Lt. Cmdr. Meredith Marlowe, a critical care nurse with ERCS-3, assigned to U.S. NMRTC Guam and U.S. Naval Hospital Guam; Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Wyatt Knauer, a paramedic with ERCS-3, assigned to USNMRTC/USNH Guam; Lt. Cmdr. Scott Klingensmith, a critical care nurse with ERCS-2, assigned to USNMRTC/USNH Guam; Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Bradley Geremia, a search and rescue medical technician with ERCS-2, assigned to USNMRTC/USNH Guam; Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Brian Romero, a search and rescue medical technician with ERCS-11, assigned to NMRTU/BHC China Lake; and Lt. Stephanie Ryan, a critical care nurse with ERCS-11, assigned to NMRTC San Diego and Naval Medical Center San Diego. (DoW photo by Regena Kowitz) Share

Wilmar Lopez-Montenegro, company first sergeant, India Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, fires an M4 carbine during marksmanship training in the hangar bay of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4), April 13, 2026. Boxer, flagship of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group, is underway with the 11th MEU in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. U.S. 7th Fleet, the Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific.
