F-35B Lightning II makes history on 13th MEU

The 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit made history with the first combat deployment of the F-35B Lightning II. The 13th MEU is a flexible crisis-response force that provides a range of military options to the combatant commander, from humanitarian assistance to combat operations. The 13th MEU returned home from a successful, eight-month deployment where the unit supported operations across four combatant commands.
