Philippines - U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 163 (Reinforced), Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, and Philippine Marines offload food and water, provided by the Government of the Philippines, from an MV-22B Osprey while conducting relief efforts in the wake of Typhoon Egay, international name Typhoon Doksuri, in Basco, Batanes province, Philippines, July 31, 2023. At the request of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, U.S. Marines are providing relief and lifesaving capabilities to remote regions of the Philippines. The forward presence and ready posture of I Marine Expeditionary Force assets in the region facilitated rapid and effective response to crisis, demonstrating the U.S.’s commitment to Allies and partners during time of need. During the first day of relief efforts, VMM-163 (Rein.) delivered approximately 12,000 pounds of food and water, provided by the Government of the Philippines, to a remote Philippine island in need.
