Operation Tomodachi: Support, Compassion, Commitment

Immediately after the March 11 earthquake in Japan, the U.S. armed forces launched a historic humanitarian and disaster relief effort named Operation Tomodachi. During this operation, over 20,000 U.S. military personnel worked side-by-side with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to help provide support to the people affected by the disaster.
