A Japan Ground Self Defense Force Soldier carries combat rations out of an MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, at Hakusui Sports Park Kyushu Island, Japan, April 19. Earlier that day the Marines took off from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni and landed aboard the JS Hyuga in order to load supplies for the residents of the Island of Kyushu. The 31st MEU, based in Okinawa, is the only continually forward-deployed MEU and remains the Marine Corps' force-in-readiness in the Asia-Pacific region. (Photo by U.S. Marine Sgt. Royce Dorman)
