WestPac Express
In service since 2001, WestPac Express continues to redefine the transportation and logistics role of the Okinawa-based Third Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) of the United States Marine Corps. WestPac Express accomplishes in a single voyage what takes US Air Mobility Command multiple flights over a 14 to 16 day period, saving III MEF 250 flights and millions of dollars each year, while also achieving a faster deployment.
