Residents and tourists of Tinian watch an explosive ordnance disposal robot during a demonstration on Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, March 11, 2019. Marines and Sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 31 led a multi-service task force, partnering with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to help the U.S. citizens of Tinian begin recovery efforts in the wake of Super Typhoon Yutu last year. The Marines and Sailors, currently participating in two weeks of unit-level training on nearby Guam, visited Tinian to meet with members of the community affected by Yutu in late October 2018. CLB-31 provides security, logistics, and transportation as the Logistics Combat Element for the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU partnering with the U.S. Navy's Amphibious Squadron 11, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
