    Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni

    U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265, unload an MV-22B Osprey at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Sept. 16, 2016. Three UH-1Y Venoms, two MV-22B Ospreys and one CH-53E Super Stallion, and are scheduled to fly to their destination in Okinawa after concluding preparations at MCAS Iwakuni. The Green Cove, a vehicle carrier, transported the aircraft approximately 6,000 miles from Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, Calif. Delivering aircraft by boat is more cost effective than flying from the U.S. to Japan, and MCAS Iwakuni has both airport and seaport capabilities, which no other Marine Corps installation has.
