Marines from III Marine Expeditionary Force load supplies and equipment onto a KC-130J Super Hercules aircraft at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma March 13. The supplies will be delivered to mainland Japan to be used in humanitarian assistance operations following the earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan, March 11. The proximity of Marine Corps aviation assets at MCAS Futenma has allowed Marines from III MEF to rapidly deploy critically-needed supplies and aid to support the relief effort.
