    Maj. Gen. Richard Simcock converses with Japanese officials during a visit to Sendai for Artillery Relocation Training Program 16-1, May 18, 2016, at Sendai, Japan. ARTP is a Japan-funded, routine training exercise that allows Marines with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marines, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, to conduct live-fire training. Simcock, a San Mateo, Calif., native, is the commanding officer of 3rd MarDiv, III MEF. Sendai was the region most heavily affected by a tsunami that struck Japan five years ago. The Marine Corps launched Operation Tomodachi back in 2011 to provide humanitarian aid and relief efforts for the region.
