U.S. Navy Master Chief Petty Officer Ruben G. Barrera, a Sailor returning home, kisses his wife, Heather Barrera, at Marine Corps Air station (MCAS) Iwakuni, Japan, Dec. 4-5, 2017. Friends, family and the USO waited for their service members to fly in and welcome them home to the air station. The relocation of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 from Naval Air Facility Atsugi to MCAS Iwakuni fulfills the final Defense Policy Review Initiative objective. The relocation is in accordance with the United States’ strategic vision for the rebalance in the Indo-Asia Pacific Region and does much to further strengthen the U.S.-Japan security alliance.
