U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Caleb Eames, III Marine Expedtionary Force (III MEF) Public Affairs Officer, takes a photo for Brig. Gen. Steven R. Rudder, commanding general of 1st Marine Air Wing, during the arrival of MV-22B Ospreys assigned to Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262, at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma (MCAS Futenma) , August 3, 2013. The aircraft will be based at and operate out of MCAS Futenma, and will be replacing the CH-46 helicopter. The MV-22B combines the capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed wing aircraft. Basing the Osprey in Okinawa will significantly strengthen the United States' ability to provide for the defense of Japan, perform humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations and fulfill other alliance roles. HMM-262 is part of Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III MEF. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Chloe Nelson/Released)
