A KC-130J Super Hercules moves down taxiway Charlie at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, after providing a combat off-load of pallets suspected of radiological contamination during exercise Habu Sentinel 16, June 6, 2016. Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 152, stationed at MCAS Iwakuni, assisted in this scenario for the exercise so U.S. Marines from 3rd Marine Division, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear defense platoon, Headquarters Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force, could appropriately respond to the situation and practice reacting to possible real-world operations. As the annual capstone exercise for the division’s response element, this event encompasses multiple objectives specific to CBRN response and validates unit standard operating procedures in an unfamiliar training environment.
