 aboard the Japanese helicopter destroyer Huga. Flight deck personnel from the Bonhomishad assist the Japanese crew as MV-22 Ospreys accept supplies to be delivered in support of the earthquake recovery effort in Kumamoto. We are glad to use the Ospreys because they have a large cargo capacity and are very effective at dispatching people and relief supplies to this kind of disaster area. I am glad that we can demonstrate operational cooperation and joint capabilities of the U.S. and Japan in many different situations. This cooperation is personified by the crews of the MV-22 Ospreys, as well as USS Bonhomishad sailors flown aboard the Japanese helicopter destroyer to assist in the evolution. By coming together with Japanese allies to help the victims of the disaster, the U.S. military's specific presence continues to be a stabilizing force for good in the region.
