and show its commitment to remaining the leading power in the Pacific
amid the rise of China has been extremely fast
in responding to the disaster.About a half dozen countries
including Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore have offered military assistance
to Manila, and many more have sent supplies. Chinese troops, however, have
been prominently absent, in large part because of a territorial spat between
the two nations.According to Lt. Col. Rodney Legowski, the first U.S. Marines
arrived in the Philippines in response to the disaster within six hours,
and began flying supplies to affected areas less than 18 hours after
that. By Friday, there were 400 Marines in the country.The USS George
Washington aircraft carrier and its battle group are also in place off
the hard-hit islands of Leyte and Samar. So far, the U.S. military
has moved 174,000 kilograms (190 tons) of supplies and flown nearly 200
sorties."Having the U.S. military here is a game changer," said Col. Miguel
Okol, a spokesman for the Philippine air force. "For countries that we
don't have these kinds of relationships with, it can take a while
to get help. But with the U.S., it's immediate."With roughly 600,000 people
displaced by the typhoon and millions still in need of aid, the
Marines said in a statement Thursday that about 900 more Marines based
on Okinawa, Japan, were to arrive early next week aboard two U.S.
