Five Marines are receiving treatment after their MV-22 Osprey landed in shallow water near Okinawa on Tuesday. Airmen and an? HH-60G from the 33rd Rescue Squadron at Kadena AB, Japan, responded and airlifted the aircrew to a Naval Hospital on Camp Foster, according to a news release from the III Marine Expeditionary Force. There is no additional information on the cause of the crash, and a formal investigation has begun. It is the second Marine Corps mishap near Japan this month. On Dec. 7, Capt. Jake Frederick was killed when his F/A-18C crashed near Iwakuni.
United Launch Alliance’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket is slated to fly its second national security mission in February—nearly six months after its first operational launch and almost a year after it was certified to fly military payloads for the Space Force.
