U.S. Marine Corps Maritime Prepositioning Force assets from the United States Naval Ship Seay (T-AKR 302) Roll off from the stern ramp in preparation for the Maritime Prepositioning Force Maintenance Cycle (MMC) 14 at Marine Corps Support Facility Blount Island. The Maritime Prepositioning Force Maintenance Cycle (MMC) is a routine process for maintaining and replenishing the equipment and supplies carried by Maritime Prepositioning Ships (MPS). It ensures the MPS remain ready for deployment and are equipped with the necessary supplies for operations. The cycle typically lasts 42 to 45 days per ship and involves checking the serviceability of the equipment and replenishing stocks.
