[QUOTE="DA SWO, post: 127489, member: 108"] Story from the AF website. The link has a MC-P with it, but the pic is too large to post and I can't resize it at this moment. FWIW- Relief efforts will be mainly an AF/Navy event, and I suspect the Navy will do most of the lifting. Best of luck to our Airman and Sailors headed into Japan.

The Airmen are prepared to provide their unique expertise in their respective areas to the Japanese government and multiple organizations supporting relief efforts across the affected area, officials said. "The devastation caused by the earthquake is truly heartbreaking." said Col. Stephen Bissonnette, deputy commander of the 353rd SOG. "As part of coordinated relief efforts, the group will work tirelessly with our Japanese counterparts and other relief organizations to help the people affected by the earthquake recover from this disaster." The 353rd SOG is able to conduct search and rescue operations, transport emergency response teams, equipment and relief supplies, survey and open airfields and helicopter landing zones with certified air traffic controllers, provide emergent medical care to injured people and assist the Japanese government and other relief agencies with a variety of highly trained support personnel for humanitarian assistance operations.
