Huge BZ (that’s 'congratulations' in Navy/Marine Corps speak) to V-BAT operators Luke Walker, Kelly Alstott, and Alexander Keil for being included in the Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, awarded to the 13thmeu crew deployed on the #ussjohnpmurtha. From October 2022 - May 2023, during their deployment in the INDOPACOM region, they set new records—completing the longest #VBAT sortie and achieving the most flight hours for a single MEU crew. We’re proud of the mission impact they’ve made and how their work continues to make our service members proud. Autonomy for the world. The greatest victory requires no war. #MeritoriousUnitCommendation #BuildwithShield #MissionImpact #USMC #USN
