A Japanese Self-Defense Force member runs into the back of a CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter to help unload water and blankets delivered by Marines with the Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, March 21. The Marines delivered the supplies here, one of the many regions devastated by the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Navy and Marine Corps involvement in the relief mission is part of a larger U.S. government response, coordinated through the U.S. Department of State, aiding the government of Japan in their ongoing relief efforts. As part of Operation Tomodachi, the 31st MEU is ready to support our long-time Japanese partners and to provide assistance when called upon. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Garry J.
