The F-35B Lightning II is the U.S. Marine Corps’ short takeoff and vertical landing variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. It provides fifth-generation stealth, advanced sensors, and network-enabled capabilities and is designed to operate from expeditionary airfields, amphibious ships, and other environments with limited runway space.

Through joint training with European allies and partners, Marines are able to leverage the capabilities of the F-35B Lightning II to increase lethality, interoperability, and readiness in a multinational environment.
