U.S. Marines with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, employ a Navy/Marine Expeditionary Ship Interdiction System at Naval Air Station Point Mugu, California, June 27-29, 2023. The unmanned NMESIS supports Force Design 2030 by allowing a small crew of Marines to operate in forward environments with minimal detectability. The Marines with 2nd Bn., 11th Marines are the first Marines to operate and fire the NMESIS weapon system. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Juan Torres)
