Mr. Shigeo Ichiki, left, and Mr. Mitsuru Namazue speak with Lt. Gen. John Wissler Sept. 29 at Camp Courtney about the capabilities of the MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft which could provide disaster relief and humanitarian assistance should the remote island of Chichi Jima need support. The Osprey has the maneuverability of a helicopter and is able to carry 24 personnel twice as fast and five times farther than previous rotary wing aircraft. Namazue is the Vice Speaker of Ogasawara Village Assembly, and Ichiki is an Ogasawara Village Assembly member and a leader of the effort to invite the Osprey to Ogasawara.
