Lt. Gen. Brian D. Beaudreault, deputy commandant of plans, policies and operations, tightens the waist strap of his Helicopter Egress System for Passengers (HESP) at Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, December 15, 2017. Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 369 provided Beaudreault a flight around the Okinawa Prefecture to assess the service quality of the Marine Corps chowhalls. The “gunfighters’” readiness to act upon a moment’s notice is crucial to maintaining a stronger, more capable forward deployed force in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
