U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Frank Machniak, a pilot with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 232, prepares to exit an F/A-18C Hornet after landing at Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) Hyakuri Air Base, Japan, July 7, 2017. VMFA-232 is conducting exercises with the JASDF as part of the Aviation Training Relocation (ATR) Program. The ATR is designed to increase operational readiness and bilateral interoperability between U.S. and Japanese forces. It also reduces noise impact across the country by dispersing unilateral jet-fighter training of U.S. forces in Japan. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mason Roy)
