Cpl. Logan Diehl, a tiltrotor crew chief assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor (VMM) 362 (Rein.), 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), left, and Lance Cpl. Paublo Flores, a tiltrotor mechanic assigned to VMM 362 (Rein.), 13th MEU, prepare to replace an input quill in an MV-22 Osprey assigned to aboard amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), April 13, 2023 in the South China Sea. Input quills transfer torque to the prop rotor gear box which promotes movement of the blades, allowing the aircraft to become airborne. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, comprised of Makin Island and amphibious transport docks USS Anchorage (LPD 23) and USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations with the embarked 13th MEU to enhance interoperability with Allies and partners and serve as a ready-response force to defend peace and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
