The 31st MEU's involvement is part of a larger U.S. government response, after a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Japan causing widespread damage. The 31st MEU is ready to support our Japanese partners and to provide assistance when called upon. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Brennan O'Lowney/Released)
