Itsunori Onodera, far right, Lt. Gen. John Wissler, second from right, and members of the Ministry of Defense for Japan exit an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft July 28 on Chichi Jima, Japan. Onodera and Wissler arrived via Osprey to demonstrate the long-range and quick response capabilities of the aircraft in the event of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts. Due to Chichi Jima’s remote location, the residents rely heavily on nearby Iwo To for medical and humanitarian relief. Given the capabilities of the Osprey, which have been consistently demonstrated during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations and exercises around the Asia-Pacific, it provides a reliable and effective means for responding to future medical, humanitarian and relief needs. Wissler is the commanding general of III Marine Expeditionary Force. Onodera is the minister of defense for Japan. The Osprey and crew are with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III MEF. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Adam B. Miller/Released)
