Marines with Battalion Landing Team, 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, high-five local Okinawan children after a community relations event at Kin Town, Okinawa, Japan, April 19, 2019. Community relations events give Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit the opportunity to give back and contribute to surrounding communities between Camp Hansen and Kin Town. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide range of military operations as the premier crisis response force in the Indo-Pacific region.
