YOKOTA AIR FORCE BASE --  

Japan Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers assigned to the 1st Airborne Brigade, line up outside a C-130J Super Hercules at Yokota Air Base, Japan, before a personnel drop, Nov. 15th, 2021. Yokota’s 374th Airlift Wing and JGSDF’s 1st Airborne Brigade organized this demonstration of interoperability, bi-lateral training, and the capability to execute a large force insertion on a drop zone of more than 200 personnel. Proper execution of this large-scale ability showcases the strategic importance of engaging in bilateral operations and training. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jessica Avallone)
