Airmen with the 36th Civil Engineer Squadron, based at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, are partnering with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit as part of the Defense Support of Civil Authorities relief efforts here. Marines with the 31st MEU and Combat Logistics Battalion 31 arrived on Tinian Oct. 29-30 in the wake of Super Typhoon Yutu. service members here can purify more than 50-thousand gallons of sea water each day to meet the urgent needs of the people of Tinian. The Marines arrived at the request of CNMI officials and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist relief efforts in the wake of Yutu, the largest typhoon to ever hit a territory. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations across the Indo-Pacific region.
