    Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Lt. Cmdr. Ogawa Yoshikazu, an EP-3 aircraft pilot with Air Reconnaissance Squadron 81, Fleet Air Wing 31, describes the use of US-2 aircraft, an air-sea rescue flying boat, to U.S. Marines at the JMSDF museum in Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Dec. 5, 2024. These Marines were students of the first locally-offered blended Expeditionary Warfare School seminar at the air station. On this day, the students visited a JMSDF museum, historic sites, and toured an F-35B Lightning II aircraft squadron to learn of the base's history and capabilities of the tenant commands. The Blended EWS Seminar Program provides company grade and warrant officers with formal education in amphibious operations and planning. This was the first iteration of the Blended EWS Seminar Program at MCAS Iwakuni, providing an important professional military education opportunity to the Marine officers stationed at this forward-deployed base.
