    PHILIPPINE SEA (Feb. 13, 2020) A CH-47 helicopter with the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) prepares to land aboard Whidbey Island-class the dock landing ship USS Germantown (LSD 42). Service members of the JGSDF and Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade conducted two weeks of training alongside the Marines and Sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) in order to strengthen bilateral amphibious capabilities. Germantown, part of the America Expeditionary Strike Group, 31st MEU team, is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with allies and partners and serve as a ready response force to defend peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

The personnel is equipped with standard flight deck safety equipment including a cranial helmet, ear protection, and yellow leather gloves. The text 'LSD' partially visible on the vest suggests this may be aboard a Landing Ship Dock vessel.
