Mobile native meritoriously advanced aboard USS Iwo Jima


By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Mark Klimenko, USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7)

NORFOLK, Va. - Petty Officer 2nd Class James Johnson, left, a native of Mobile, Alabama, was advanced to the next pay grade through the Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP) while serving aboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), March 2.


The MAP Program is intended to give commanding officers the opportunity to recognize their best sailors by advancing them when they demonstrate they are ready for the next level of responsibility.

“It showed me how much hard work pays off, and if you stay patient, you’ll get what you earn,” said Johnson. “I’m better able to set a good example and become a great leader for the junior sailors under me.”

Johnson is a 2019 graduate of Murphy High School and has served in the Navy for three years.

Today, Johnson serves as an aviation ordnanceman responsible for managing and operating shipboard munitions.
Amphibious assault ships, such as USS Iwo Jima, project power and maintain presence by serving as the cornerstone of the Amphibious Readiness Group/Expeditionary Strike Group.

Amphibious Readiness Groups provide the Marine Corps with a means of ship-to-shore movement by helicopter in addition to movement by landing craft.

USS Iwo Jima has supported major humanitarian-assistance and combat operations in which the United States has been involved.

USS Iwo Jima is named for the battle of Iwo Jima fought in 1945, in which three divisions of U.S. Marines took control of a tiny island from more than 20,000 enemy defenders.

The ship’s motto is a quote from Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz: “Among the Americans who served on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue.”

There were 27 U.S. service members awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for their heroic actions during the Battle of Iwo Jima, more than any other single operation during World War II.
