    A team of U.S. Marines and Navy Sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 4, Combat Logistics Regiment 3, and an Okinawan community member, back, participate in the annual Henoko Hari Tournament at Matsuda-No-Hama, Nago, Okinawa, Japan, Aug. 17, 2025. The tournament, featuring teams racing in dragon boats, or “sabani,” is a traditional Okinawan event that dates back to the 16th century as a performance for the god of the sea to ask that the ocean provide an abundant harvest of seafood and for the safety of fishermen.
