    III Marine Expeditionary Force   

    A large ferry boat rests inland, amidst destroyed houses March 20, a solemn reminder of the force exerted by recent natural disasters. The 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit delivered much-needed relief supplies here, March 21. Navy and Marine Corps involvement in humanitarian and relief efforts on mainland Japan is part of a larger U.S. government response to requests for help from the Government of Japan after a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Japan, causing widespread damage. As part of Operation Tomodachi, the 31st MEU is ready to support our Japanese partners and to provide assistance when called upon.
