U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Brian D. Psolka, front-left, and members of the Northeastern Army, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force move humanitarian aid and disaster relief supplies aboard an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft Nov. 8 during Tomodachi relief exercise 15.2 near Izu Oshima Island, Tokyo Metropolis Prefecture, Japan. TREX 15.2 is an annual, bilateral training exercise that simulates humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions in Japan while strengthening the U.S. and Japanese alliance. The supplies were being transported to a nearby area where they could be provided to victims of the notional disaster. TREX provided the opportunity for the bilateral force to further perfect response plans and demonstrate capabilities that will result lives being saved should a real disaster occur. Psolka, from Yuma, Arizona, is a pilot and operations officer with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force.
