31st MEU Media Gallery
Two elderly residents of Oshima Island wave the Japanese and American flags as a way of thanking Marines and Sailors of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, for their hard work, April 7. The Marines and Sailors spent about six days cleaning up debris on parts of the island, during Operation Field Day. The 31st MEU’s involvement is part of the larger Operation Tomodachi, coordinated after a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Japan causing widespread damage. The 31st MEU remains ready to support its Japanese partners and to provide assistance when called upon.
