    Cpl. Tori K. Tadehara, a heavy equipment mechanic, Task Force Fuji, III Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), fixes a seven-ton truck March 25 that broke down here. The truck was part of a convoy supplying kerosene for heating to areas of Japan hardest hit by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Shelters, group homes and temporary Japanese Self-Defense Force bases established to conduct disaster relief and humanitarian assistance operations will receive the heating fuel. Throughout three-day mission, the Marines and sailors of TFF delivered 140 barrels of kerosene while traveling more than 400 miles on mountain roads in temperatures that were frequently below freezing.
