Operation Tomodachi (which means "friend" in Japanese) was a disaster relief and humanitarian assistance mission launched in response to the massive earthquake that struck off the northeast coast of Honshu, Japan, subsequently triggering a devastating tsunami that ravaged Japan’s eastern coastline within an hour on March 11, 2011. The operation stood - and still does, 15 years later - as a symbol of, and testament to, the alliance between Japan and the United States.
