Two years of footage and an entire deployment with joint US Navy and Marines unit Maritime Raid Force (MRF). This is also the maiden deployment for the USS SOMERSET (LPD-25). The USS SOMERSET was named for Somerset County Pennsylvania, in honor of the passengers who died on United Airlines Flight 93, hijacked during the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. The passengers prevented the plane from reaching its intended target by forcing it to crash in Stonycreek Township in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
Approximately 22 tons of steel from a Marion 7500 dragline that stood near Flight 93's crash site were used to construct Somerset's keel.
The MRF operates under the Marine Expeditionary Unit, the smallest task force in the Marines. The MEU operates as a quick reaction force to respond to any crisis or threat. The MRF organizes each task force based on the needs of a given mission, but it is composed of three platoons: force reconnaissance for assault, amphibious reconnaissance for support and battalion landing for security. Other specialists such as explosive ordnance disposal technicians, military information support operators and biological specialists may join as needed.
Thank you for watching.
