Rear Adm. Jeffrey A. Harley and Col. John A. Ostrowski discuss joint integration and interoperability with members of Expeditionary Strike Group 7 and 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade at White Beach Nov. 2. Members of ESG 7 taught a class on the composite warfare commander concept and discussed joint interoperability and planning considerations for when the Navy and Marine Corps work together. The 3rd MEB is a scalable, middleweight force that a commander can tailor to efficiently meet the needs of a mission. Meetings like this improve Navy and Marine Corps interoperability and increase readiness and the ability to respond to a variety of crises and disasters while building professional and personal relationships between the two commands. Harley is the commander, ESG 7. Ostrowski is the chief of staff of 3rd MEB.
