A C-17 Globemaster III from the 535th Airlift Squadron returned from supporting Operation Tomodachi in Japan to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Thursday night. Operation Tomodachi, meaning “Friendship,” is the US military’s ongoing humanitarian relief efforts in Japan. Previous missions have included transporting up to 50 tons of water and 7,000lbs of blankets, among other needed supplies.
