A Sailor with Amphibious Squadron 11 directs a Japanese electrical utility vehicle off of a U.S. Navy landing craft, March 27. The vehicles were transported from mainland Japan by the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and Amphibious Squadron 11 to help restore power to the heavily damaged island. The MEU also delivered food, water and health and comfort supplies to the island, in conjunction with Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The 31st MEU’s involvement is part of a larger U.S. government response, 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.
