 Commander Fleet Activity Sasebo, Japan Self-Defense Force and Sasebo City hold annual emergency preparedness drills. Joining this year are two Tilt Rotor military aircraft. The MB-22 Ospreys are a capability that the United States Navy and Marine Corps has been using for a short time, but the Self-Defense Forces will also soon have the MB-22 at the capability. So it demonstrates to the citizens the benefit that the Ospreys bring. With the additional benefits of Ospreys, Sasebo City, JSDF and CFAS are better prepared to take action when a disaster happens. Petty Officer Christina Coffey, Fleet Activities, Sasebo, Japan.
