Hunter Blanchette, center, tiltrotor crew chief with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 262, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Air Wing, marshals U.S. Air Force pararescuemen from the 31st Rescue Squadron to an MV-22B Osprey during foreign disaster relief operations at Clark Air Base, Philippines, Nov. 13, 2025. At the request of the Government of the Philippines, the U.S. military is working alongside the Armed Forces of the Philippines to provide foreign disaster relief support to communities affected by Typhoons Kalmaegi (Tino) and Fung-Wong (Uwan), which caused extensive damage and tragic loss of life. The forward presence and ready posture of United States Indo-Pacific Command in the region facilitates rapid and effective response to crisis, demonstrating the U.S.’s commitment to allies and partners during times of need. The 31st RQS provided stand-by medical support and maintained alert rescue teams for U.S. servicemembers delivering aid across the country. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Micaiah Anthony)
