    From left to right, Lt. Gen. John Wissler, Kazuo Morishita and Itsunori Onodera pose for a photo July 28 on Chichi Jima, Japan. Onodera and Wissler arrived to the remote island via an MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft to demonstrate the long-range and quick response capabilities of the aircraft in the event of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts. They also spoke with the Ogasawara village assembly to discuss Japan’s future acquisition of Ospreys. Given the capabilities of the Osprey, which have been consistently demonstrated during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations and exercises around the Asia-Pacific, the aircraft provides a reliable and effective means for future response to medical, humanitarian and relief needs. Wissler is the commanding general of III Marine Expeditionary Force. Morishita is the Ogasawara village mayor, and Onodera is the minister of defense for Japan. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
