A radiological control technician inspects a Marine of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit returning from an aid mission to Japan for possible low-level radioactive contamination, March 21. The team was brought in to aid the USS Essex and the 31st MEU during Operation Tomodachi, as Marines and Sailors deliver humanitarian aid and disaster relief supplies to areas of Japan. Navy and Marine Corps involvement is part of a larger U.S. government response, coordinated through the U.S. Department of State, after a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Japan causing widespread damage. The 31st MEU is ready to support our Japanese partners and to provide assistance when called upon.
