Ogasawara village assembly members greet senior military officials with the U.S. and Japan upon their arrival July 28 on Chichi Jima, Japan. The officials flew into the remote island to demonstrate the long-range and quick response capabilities of the MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. Given the capabilities of the Osprey, which have been consistently demonstrated during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations and exercises around the Asia-Pacific, the aircraft provides a reliable and effective means for future response to medical, humanitarian and relief needs. The Ospreys and crew are with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 265, Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Adam B.
