Marines and sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit transport a prefabricated bridge over a creek during a community outreach project near Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., March 22. Chaplains with the 11th MEU coordinated volunteers from the unit’s major subordinate elements to help beautify a walking path belonging to Mission San Antonio. Since the mission is located just outside of the base, it served as an optimal volunteer opportunity while the unit executed pre-deployment training as part of Realistic Urban Training Marine Expeditionary Unit Exercise (RUTMEUEX) 14-1. - Marines and sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit transport a prefabricated bridge over a creek during a community outreach project near Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., March 22.

Broken and graffitied lockers at Sarakul Stadium hold track medals and the few earthly possessions of teen boys living here. Service members aboard USS Rushmore volunteered March 6 to clean and paint for the Phuket Athletic Club, a nationally competing track-and-field team. The volunteers – service members with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Bonhomme Richard Amphibious Ready Group – spent the day fixing bent bed frames, cleaning rooms and painting beds and lockers. The stadium offers boys an alternative to growing up in Phuket neighborhoods where drugs and crime affect many young people. - Broken and graffitied lockers at Sarakul Stadium hold track medals and the few earthly possessions of teen boys living here.
