U.S. Navy Sailors with Combat Logistics Battalion 31, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and Japan Ground Self-Defense Force service members with Logistics Battalion, 2nd Amphibious Rapid Deployment Regiment, prepare to depart with a simulated casualty onto an MV-22B Osprey aircraft assigned to Medium Marine Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 (Rein.), during a bilateral casualty evacuation training in support of Iron Fist 26, at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Feb. 25, 2026. Bilateral casualty evacuation training is a critical force multiplier that ensures medical readiness during joint disaster relief operations. The 31st MEU is a persistent, combat credible force operating aboard the ships of the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group in the U.S. 7th fleet area of operations, routinely interacting and operating with our allies and partners to contribute to deterrence, security, crisis response, and combat operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
