KUMAMOTO, Japan (April 22, 2016) - A 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) Marine guides a pitch fork lift truck as Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF) members prepare to load relief supplies onto a MV-22B Osprey from the Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265 (Reinforced), 31st MEU at Kumamoto Airport.  The supplies are in support of the JSDF-led relief effort after a series of earthquakes struck the island of Kyushu. The 31st MEU is the only continually forward-deployed MEU and remains the Marine Corps' force-in-readiness in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
