Marines with Marine Corps Installations Pacific and Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 462, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force, worked alongside the Japan Self Defense Force and Okinawa emergency services in the Churashima Rescue Exercise July 23, aboard Camp Naha, Okinawa Japan. The annual exercise hosted by the 15th Brigade, Western Army, Japan Ground Self Defense Force, trains emergency responders for a swift reaction to the disaster effects of a trench-type earthquake. “The exercise is exactly the type of mission that requires JSDF and the Marine Corps cooperation and coordination,” said Maj. Thai N. Nguyen, G-5 planner, MCIPAC. “When this is accomplished in advance of a disaster, it saves valuable time, resources, and lives.”
