The Navy is forward-deploying F-35C Lightning II and CMV-22B Osprey aircraft to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, to maintain security efforts in the Indo-Pacific region, the service announced in July.

Strike Fighter Squadron 147 and its F-35C Lightning II aircraft are slated to replace the F/A-18 Super Hornets from Strike Fighter Squadron 115.


The Ospreys, which belong to Fleet Logistic Multi-Mission Squadron 30, will replace the C-2A Greyhound aircraft of the Fleet Logistics Squadron 30 detachment that has supported Carrier Air Wing 5 embarked on the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
