A U.S. Marine with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 268 (VMM-268) kisses his wife during a homecoming event for VMM-268, Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH), Sept. 28, 2018. VMM-268 has been deployed to Australia for Marine Rotational Force Darwin for the past 6 months. During this rotation, they participated in numerous training exercises in and around Australia with various Indo-Pacific partners and allies. III Marine Expeditionary Forces in Hawaii are ready, capable, and relevant. The a trans-Pacific flights conducted by Marine Aircraft Group 24 have shrunk the theater significantly, allowing the Marine Corps to aggregate combat force in the western Pacific from Hawaii in a matter of days. U.S. Marine Corps Forces in Hawaii are now part of the strategic calculus in a ‘fight tonight’ scenario. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Matthew Kirk)
