A Marine with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 262 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, helps Japanese Self-Defense Forces push a pallet of blankets out of a Marine CH-46E helicopter, March 21. The 31st MEU delivered over 800 gallons of water and 768 blankets to the devastated area. 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.
