Of all the “engagements” I participated in (both kinetic and humanitarian), the HADR operations were the most rewarding. Even the most advanced countries like Japan appreciate a hand. Operations in Sendai (Tomodachi) after the earthquake/tsunami exemplified the cooperation between our two counties (as also others) and their militaries. Wonderful friendships remain.
