Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 12 opened a hush

Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 12 opened a hush house at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, to local press from the Yamaguchi area as an opportunity to show what the station is doing to mitigate noise in the local area, Dec. 14, 2015. These facilities are used to reduce noise in the local area when testing aircraft engines. Building and using facilities like these help strengthen the bond between the air station and the local community by showing that the station listens to the needs of the community and are doing their best to accommodate local citizens.
