Apparently this “LSE” (large scale exercise) is something they started doing in August 2021 and is supposed to be a triennial event (every 3 years) which makes me wonder why they’re doing it again after only 2 years.
U.S. Marines worked with servicemembers from Great Britain, France and Canada during Large Scale Exercise-17 at Twentynine Palms, Calif., Aug. 15-21, 2017. LSE-17 is a multinational exercise, led by 2nd Marine Division, with elements from the United Kingdom, France, Canada and II Marine Expeditionary Force, focused on integrating all capabilities of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force and coalition forces.

LSE-14 is a bilateral training exercise being conducted by 1st MEB to build U.S. and Canadian forces’ joint capabilities through live, simulated, and constructive military training activities
Interesting, I was quoting the blog post I linked that mentioned 2021 was the first iteration of the event. I guess these previous LSE events were run by the marines and the 2021 and current one are being run by the navy while integrating the marines? Not sure.
It seems like they have expanded it each time. They had other large exercises before 2014, but they were not called LSE which I'm guessing is a recent term.
