This is the "Operation Tomodachi" from United States Armed Forces for Japanese Earthquake rescue.
Tomodachi= friends, Sakusen= operations
Of course this operation costs a fortune, and we are glad for the help.
Most Japanese thought that it was a gift from the people of the US to Japan in need...
But usually friends don't ask for part of the money back when they help.
I think maybe it should be "Operation 'Friend' " if you know what I mean.
Like when you buy some T-shirts at a discount in a street market in Thailand, and the vendor says- "Hey, you are my tomodachi now."
