A CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter exits the front of an opened C-5 Galaxy cargo aircraft June 3 on the Marine Corps Air Station Futenma flight line. The aircraft is part of an aviation detachment in Okinawa that is being reestablished under the unit deployment program. The commandant of the Marine Corps established the UDP in October 1977 to provide for the deployment of units to the Asia-Pacific region for periods of approximately six months. With the recent reduction of forces deployed to U.S. Central Command, the Marine Corps is resuming the regular UDP cycle of units rotating from U.S. home stations. The CH-53E is with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 772, Marine Aircraft Group 49, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Reserve, currently assigned to 1st MAW under the UDP. The C-5 is with the 337th Airlift Squadron, 439th Operations Group, 439th Airlift Wing, 22nd Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command. Photo by Cpl. Alyssa N. Gunton
