A member of the Japan Ground Self Defense Force holds his arms out directing other soldiers carrying supplies off of an MV-22B Osprey April 19, at Hakusui Sports Park, Kyushu Island, Japan. Earlier that day U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit took off from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and landed aboard the JS Hyuga in order to load supplies for the residents of the Island of Kyushu. The 31st MEU, based out of Okinawa, is the only continually forward-deployed MEU and remains the Marine Corps' force-in-readiness in the Asia-Pacific region. (Photo by U.S. Marine Sgt. Royce Dorman)
