U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18D Hornets with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 312 arrive at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Oct. 1, 2020.

Marines with VMFA-312 and Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA (AW)) 533, based out of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina, take part in a rotational unit deployment program to supplement Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) 12.

The deployment enables MAG-12 to maintain its obligation to the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the U.S. while facilitating the safe transition for VMFA-242 from F/A-18D Hornets to F-35B Lightning II.
