U.S. Marines in Okinawa

TOKYO, Japan - Members of the U.S. Marine Corps arrive at the White Beach U.S. Naval facility in Uruma, Okinawa Prefecture, in April 2011, after taking part in Operation Tomodachi to support people affected by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan. On Feb. 6, 2012, Japan and the United States confirmed a policy to move about 4,700 U.S. Marines in Okinawa to Guam, delinking the troops' transfer from a plan to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station within the prefecture, Japanese officials said.
